The purpose of this study is to depict the process of the career development of ECEC teachers who have experienced migration to Japan as children. Applying Trajectory Equifinality Modeling, narratives of three teachers (ethnic Japanese immigrants from South American countries) were visualized to present their process of career development including their fluctuations in identity. The visualization depicted their thoughts on roles affected by their own abilities “to speak their own native language” and “of empathetic understanding of immigrant children who have similar backgrounds”; and their confidence level in languages might have influenced their career development. Also, the expectation for immigrant ECEC teachers to be good translators has brought too much of a burden on them. Therefore, understanding such difficulties related to their career development may help the immigrant ECEC teachers.
