Day Care Manager

That is a really great question. While I haven’t had the opportunity to develop within this particular role per se, I have actually become very involved in my local food bank this year. This has taught me a great deal about community, teamwork, and taking initiative.

I took it upon myself to enroll in a summer business admin course at the local community college. Through this, I picked up some really great knowledge on communication and teamwork, as well as further develop overall managerial skills. Though it may not be directly applicable to this particular job, I believe the overall experience I gained could be a real asset here.

Keeping lists. Asking for feedback, and frequently touching base with team members.

Here’s what this question is asking: When do you get focused and start working in earnest? What are the hours that you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird?

Remote teams can be made up of people working different shifts and all around the world so you won’t necessarily be stuck in the 9-to-5 if that’s not your thing. And remote jobs are often flexible as far as day-to-day routines are concerned. So you can also arrange your work in the way that’s best for you – as long as you get it all done.

I would calmly convince them that I’ll try my best to make sure it doesn’t happen again and that I’d instill and reinforce the value of empathy among all pupils involved.

The activities that they are involved in are the ones that I see the children get the most out of. Also if the activity is interesting to the child, if they are part of the activity they feel a sense of belonging.

I have worked as a child caregiver for ten years. While most of my wards have been babies, I have provided care to children aged 6, 8, 9 and 10 as well. With older children, it is not about assisting them in eating and changing; it is more about working with their activities to ensure that they become good human beings.

While this question is an invitation to do some chest pounding, remember to illustrate strengths that will benefit the employer and are relative to the position. For example:

☛ being a problem solver

☛ being a motivator

☛ being a natural leader

☛ the ability to perform under pressure

☛ a positive attitude

☛ loyalty

Are typically all solid strengths, but again, consider the position. For example, mentioning you are an excellent “team player” in a job where you largely work alone suddenly becomes irrelevant to the employer and demonstrates a genuine lack of self awareness.

"The highlight of my teaching day is when I see the excitement of the children when they learn something new, when they are able to do something for the first time. It is very fulfilling how responsive young children are to learning, to see their enthusiasm for different and fresh activities."

"I enjoy getting to know each child as a unique individual, finding out what makes them tick and then using this knowledge to help them grow, to maximize their strengths and to build their confidence and competence. I find it so rewarding to be an integral part of their development."

Possible answers to this type of preschool teacher interview question include:

"Managing a class full of preschoolers is challenging, I have to gain their respect and ensure appropriate behavior without intimidating them. A successful approach is to control the classroom while keeping things educational, enjoyable and encouraging.

I achieve this through excellent organization of both learning activities and the learning environment. The classroom is a supportive and structured environment where children learn while having fun."

In my experience delegating responsibility and authority is crucial. A team needs to be able to develop and grow as individuals and a whole, not be held back by low expectations or ego.

I believe in building a team. Each member of the team should be clear on their role, know where they fit in and feel as though they can depend on one another. I also believe in real-time feedback. If you do something wrong you should know it immediately. Regardless of right or wrong, the further removed feedback is in time, the less effective it is.

☛ This position requires a lot of independent thinking and initiative. There is minimal supervision. Could you handle that?

☛ Would you rather draw up plans and design a program or be responsible for implementing a program? Why?

☛ How would your weaknesses interfere with your ability to do this job?

☛ What kinds of problems do you like to handle? Can you give me an example.

☛ What do you think is going to happen in the field in the next five years?

☛ Are you a member of any professional organizations?

It is important to be prepared for preschool interview questions like this.

"Children this age can so easily become distracted and I have found this a challenge. I have become less frustrated with this aspect as I have gained more experience and found effective ways to encourage concentration and focus such as involving the children more in the activity, asking them questions and seeking suggestions from them."

A patient care coordinator must ensure patients receive the care they need, but when there are roadblocks, I rely on a multifaceted approach to advocate for their needs. In the past, I have had to navigate obstacles such as schedule conflicts, uncooperative patients and insufficient communication. To combat these and deliver the treatment a patient needs, I advocate for patients with persistence. This may take the form of involving additional support, gaining necessary clearance for treatments or finding an alternate way to coordinate care. By following up and staying focused on long-term health goals, I can effectively advocate and overcome the obstacles standing in the way.

Yes! I have provided the details of 3 strong references on my resume.

I employ a school-readiness program for children not yet of school going age. Teaching them language and numbers using appropriate preschool methods is my feat.

A preschool teacher is a demanding job requiring specific dedication and motivation.

This includes a natural passion for encouraging and helping young children to reach their potential, a genuine enjoyment of being surrounded by children, a strong feeling of reward resulting from the successes of the children in your care and a desire to respond to and empathize with the struggles and challenges the children may face.

I graduated high school in 1985, then I went to Santa Monica College to study business and accounting. I stopped a couple classes shy of my associates degree when I was pregnant with my first child.
