The child care director had already contacted all of my references and obviously had a lot of the information about me that she wanted before we even met. Most of the questions were geared toward the information about my experience and knowledge about licensing practices in the childcare industry as well as my volunteer experience.

It was a very quick Interview, my interviewer wasn't the boss, they seemed like they wanted to get it over with. They asked basic questions such how you would react in specific situations, and how you would make children feel included. They also asked what you knew about the YMCA, and about the services they provided such as gym, child care, indoor pool etc. You also need a child abuse check and criminal record check for this position.
