Interview
I walked in and picked up an application, filled it out and returned it. I got a call back within a week and started working the following week. I had to do TB and HIV test done. I also had to apply for a background check on-line. You have to pay for it.

I applied online. I interviewed at La Petite Academy (Charleston, SC) in Jul 2026
Interview
Loved the interview felt welcome and not rushed. The interview process includes submitting an application, meeting with the director, discussing qualifications and childcare experience, completing background checks and required paperwork, and demonstrating professionalism, communication, and reliability.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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?
