The recruiter sent you an email and asked you if you are interested in a certain position. If you reply yes, then you would have an interview through the phone first with the recruiter, then the center director in-person interview. It's a pretty straightforward interview process if you have the related experience.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at KinderCare Learning Centers (Torrance, CA)
Interview
Applied and someone reached out to me to fill out a form then an interview was scheduled for the following week. Answered some questions then I was given a tour of the preschool. Was given an offer a few days later.
The director of this center is unorganized and unprofessional and most of her staff were rude as a first impression. The first thing noticed was the dirty lobby floor, the place is neat enough to ‘pass,’ yet dingy enough to make you question their real processes. Suggestions had to be made to the director in order for her to offer a more thorough hiring process; she was trying to hire without even providing a tour and classroom observation - that was a huge red flag. She also requested information that was previously provided to her, which demonstrated a mishandling of sensitive information. Lastly, the pay offered is AWFUL. The experience was similar at two other Kindercare locations - messy/somewhat unclean environment and rude/unprofessional staff.
