This study investigates the design and implementation of multicultural story corners in a private preschool in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Grounded in the Ministry of Education's cultural curriculum framework, the study aims to explore how story corners foster children’s engagement with cultural narratives and support cultural awareness. Using a qualitative case study design, the researcher collaborated with three preschool educators to create story corners aligned with classroom learning centers. Data were collected through observations, interviews, teaching artifacts, and reflective notes. Findings reveal that story corners enabled children to express cultural ideas through storytelling, role play, and material manipulation, while also enriching teachers’ curriculum design with local cultural themes. The study highlights the potential of multicultural story corners as a practical pedagogical tool for integrating cultural content into early childhood settings.
