I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Goddard School in Jul 2012
Interview
I applied online in December, but did not recieve a call back. I decided to call them in July after I had already been employed in a childcare facility. The education director asked me to come in for an interview the following Monday.
The interview was with the education director and was very laid back. She asked the basic questions that you should be asked when applying for a job in childcare. I was asked how I dealt with children with behavor issues, how to handle conflict between two children, step by step on how to change diapers, and asked what my teaching philosophy was.
After I answered the questions she gave me a tour of the facility and let me know the ages of the children in each classroom. She also filled me in on their staff to child ratio. We then went back into her office to speak more about the positions that were available. She was very kind and asked me which position I would prefer. She told me that she would speak with the owner regarding my interview and said she would contact me.
The same day I recieved a call from her and she told me that she wanted to offer me the position. They send out an offer letter that includes the position and the salary offered. Once you print and sign it you are to bring it back so they can begin filing paperwork and get your background check squared away.
The overall process took quite a while. I started two weeks later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I cannot really think of any question that was difficult to ask. Something they do ask is how you view discipline and how you enforce it. This question is probably difficult for people who do not have experience with children or childcare facilities.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Goddard School (Cleveland, OH) in Jan 2026
Interview
The one on one interview was straightforward, making the overall experience comfortable and laidback. All of my questions were answered and the director was very polite and knowledgeable. Only downside is I wished I would have known during the interview that your hours are subject to be reduced without notice.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Goddard School (Independence, OH) in Jun 2024
Interview
Very easy, I had one interview and was hired. Then comes the task of getting finger prints, background check, drug test and physical exam. The interview took about 30 minutes and part of that was in a classroom.
I interviewed at The Goddard School (West Chester, PA)
Interview
The interview process is very easy. Communication with staff was good and the interview was not stressful. I was nervous going into it, knowing that I had a limited amount of experience, but the Goddard school sure if they would help me grow as a professional.
