I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Childtime Learning Center (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2009
Interview
Submitted resume and cover letter to center. Asked to complete online application which included personality testing and so called job related questions. Job related questions had nothing to do with the job. Job questions seemed to be written for working in an office. Passed the test and interviewed with the Director.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Childtime Learning Center (Alhambra, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
I was asked about my favorite activities with the children and how to handle conflict among team members, and they kept pushing me about how interested I was in becoming a teacher there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
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.
