DOI: https://doi.org/background: Providing the gifted children with care and support is considered one of the pillars needed for developing societies in all areas. Due to the significance of providing those children with care, the researchers aimed to explore the role of the female kindergarten principals in developing the gifts of the kindergarten children from the perspective of the female kindergarten principals and teachers.
Material And Mehods: The researchers adopted the qualitative approach. They interviewed ten (10) female kindergarten principals and ten (10) female kindergarten teachers. The participants were chosen from several kindergartens in Mafraq, Jordan.
Results: Most of the female principals are capable of identifying the gifted children based on their excellent academic achievement, and engagement in extracurricular and curricular activities. Despite that, some principals added that they have poor knowledge about the identification of gifted children. Some principals added that they lack knowledge about the instruments needed for such identification. On the other hand, almost all the teachers confirmed that they are capable of identifying the gifted children through classroom activities and academic games.
Conclusion: It was found that the female kindergarten principals play a significant role in developing the gifts of kindergarten children.
