The aim of our study is to investigate and analyze how preschool teachers and principals reason about the preschool teacher's pedagogical leadership in general and in relation to the teaching concept in particular. To collect the empirical material for our study, we conducted a total of eight interviews, two with principals and six with preschool teachers. We chose to look at the interviews from a theory of professions perspective. The result of the analysis shows that the preschool teachers' interpret pedagogical leadership as largely about contributing to children's knowledge development through teaching. From the theory of professions perspective, we could see that the relationship between the preschool teachers' view on pedagogical leadership and the teaching assignment is a central part of the development work to quality assure their own activities in the preschool and to strengthen the preschool teacher's profession.
