The purpose of this study is to examine how preschool teachers talk about how they work with developing interculturality in preschool. The study is based on the following questions:   How do the teachers describe the work with interculturality in multicultural groups of children?   How do the teachers describe the work with interculturality in monocultural groups of children?   What are the differences between these descriptions?   Through qualitative interviews with five preschool teachers working at two preschools we have analyzed how they talk about their work to develop interculturality. The first preschool has multicultural groups of children, and the second preschool has monocultural groups of children. In this study we have assumed the intercultural perspective as described by Lorentz (2014). The results show that the preschool with multicultural groups of children works actively with interculturality, while the preschool with monocultural groups of children does not work with interculturality, although the teachers have experience and ideas of how to work with interculturality.
