I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bright Horizons Family Solutions (Elmsford, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
Several interviews - starting with phone and then in-person. The communication was good, although sometimes slow. When meeting in person, I presented my resume and dressed professionally. They asked about my teaching experience and my experience working with children. I believe they truly care about placing teachers who have an incentive to stick around because they have high turnover due to low pay and burnout.
