Abstract

This research moved from the low level phenomenon of understanding of kindergarten teachers about children with special needs. The purpose of this study was to determine the dynamics of kindergarten teachers' understanding of children with special needs. The method used in this research is one of the kindergartens in Bandung, Indonesia with the subject of three teachers. Data was collected using an interview technique with duration of three times a week with one hour on each meeting. The result is that there is a group of kindergarten children with special needs. The diversity of teachers' understanding of children and their needs towards children with special needs, could possibly lead to mistreatment done by teachers to children with special needs, whereas the regulation of education has determined that the kindergarten must receive children with special needs without discrimination. As any implication, the results of this study suggest that the need for more intensive socialization on inclusive education, especially for kindergarten, then there should be a basic skill development training for kindergarten teachers on children's behalf.
