الملخص EN

The research seeks to know the transformational leadership of kindergarten principals and its relationship to their social and selfintelligence.

In order to achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher built a scale of transformational leadership, which she applied to the principals of kindergartens.

The scale consists of (20) items, and it has good validity and stability, as the reliability coefficient reached (870.0) by the halfsegmentation method, and (748.0) by using Cronbach's alpha equation.

In addition, the researcher has adopted the Multiple Intelligences Scale, developed by (Walter Mckenzie,1999), according to (Howard Gardner's,1983) classification of multiple intelligences, which includes social and self-intelligence.

The scale consists of (20) items and has apparent validity.

The two scales were applied to a sample of (160) female principals, who were chosen by the simple random method.

The research reached a set of results, including: 1- Transformational leadership as a general factor is found among kindergarten principals at a high level.

2- There are differences in transformational leadership among female principals according to demographic variables.

3- The kindergarten principals enjoy a high level of social and selfintelligence as a general factor.

4- There are no differences in the social and self-intelligence of female principals according to demographic variables.

5- Transformational leadership is related to the social and self-intelligence of female principals with a strong positive and statistically significant positive relationship.

Then the researcher presented a set of recommendations and suggestions.
