New paradigms of education of the 21st century transform and modernize the structure and functions of the educational system, as well as the content of education and educational technologies acquire new characteristics. The recognition of the world of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a multilingual and multi-ethnic state reveals a wide range of problems in trilingual education, especially in primary school, raise many controversial issues in the country. The article analyzes the opinions of foreign and domestic scientists about the positive and negative effects of multilingual education in early childhood. This direction is complemented by a review of the effectiveness of multilingual education in world practice, as well as a program of updated content of education in Kazakhstan. Currently, schools introduce a foreign language from primary school, even in kindergartens. The reason is that the early learning of foreign languages has a profound influence on the development of a personality. Long-term studies show that early childhood education regulates the physical and linguistic development of children, teaches children to study the culture of other nations and to show tolerance. However, one should not forget that the basis of this multilingual education should be based on the native language.
