I applied online. I interviewed at La Petite Academy in May 2016
Interview
They contacted me several days after I applied online, and the assistant I spoke with just asked me general questions over the phone. I received a call the following day asking to set up an interview time. The interview was conducted very poorly. The director asked me maybe 4 or 5 questions (mostly just situational questions) while the assistant rated my answers on a sheet of paper. The interview lasted little more than 5 minutes, and the interviewer asked very vague questions and did not answer any of the questions I had for her. They did not give me any information about how or when I would possibly be contacted following the interview. I have 4 years of experience in a licensed childcare facility and many more years of experience with children. I was very disappointed with how the entire process was handled.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to deal with a difficult parent
The interview went pretty smooth and friendly. Communication is happy and the questions are not so hard, all about situations happened in class. They also invited me to tour their campus.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at La Petite Academy (Iowa City, IA) in Dec 2023
Interview
The director was not present for my interview. the assistant director asked me hypothetical questions regarding what I’d do in a teaching scenario. She asked me questions about my personal life, but it was mostly scripted stuff she was reading off a paper. I was given a tour of the building. I was told about the different age groups and what part of the building they reside in and what the different teaching styles were for each age group. It was a very short interview maybe like 30 min at the most.

Question 1
I’m leading a group of children ages 1-2. And it’s lunch time or snack time. I’m supposed to give them oranges and gold fish. How do I turn that into a learning experience instead of just having them eat?

Interview
The interview process was great, quick and easy. Everybody was kind and pleasing. Would definitely take the opportunity if offered to me by this employer. Seems like a great place to work.
