I applied online. I interviewed at Childtime Learning Center (Virginia Beach, VA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied online, and after applying was directed to complete an assessment and fill out a background consent form. Once these were completed I received a phone call from the director to set up an interview. The interview was conducted by the director, one on one. She was very friendly and asked typical child care interview questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle a parent who was upset that his or her son was dressing up in princess or ballerina outfits?
Very straight forward. More personality based than experienced based. Will ask more about how you’d handle certain situations with kids, and how calm, and open you are to teamwork with other teachers. If you don’t have experience as a child care educator, they will often train you as long as you’re willing.

Persistently asked how interested I was in the position.
Easy interviewing, went by pretty fast! I enjoyed the atmosphere, I didn’t feel nervous or intimidated. I was given a tour during the interview which was nice to see the school.
