Answer 3

I work at a daycare, and I was asked questions like this,

1.Do you like kids?

2.Do you have any younger siblings?

3.What would you do if two kids started fighting?

4.How would you get a child who has trouble paying attention, to listen to you?

5.What do you think are important things to teach a child?

6.Do you know CPR?  (This may or may not be required)

7.Are you up to date in all your health shots?

8.Do you Babysit?

9.Do you like working with other people?

There were quite a few scenario questions.  They want to see how you will act in the situation.

Good Luck, and remember to Smile!  Kids warm up to happy people.  Talk to the kids, get down on their level, like sqwat down and look them in the eye, that way they don't feel like you are talking down to them.  Thats a good tactic for question 4

Answer 4

As assistant director at a private school, the first question that I always ask is "Why do you want to be a teacher?"    I also ask the applicant to give me 5 reasons why they would be a good team member for our school.

Answer 5

How would you discipline a child?  How long have you worked with children?  Can you be creative and come up with activities?  How would you talk to a parent about a problem with their child?  Do you enjoy children?  What is the best way for young children to learn?
