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.
