Practice 25 Child Care interview questions covering safety protocols, child development, and parent communication.

WRITTEN BY ELISABETH WALTER
QUESTION 10 OF 25

What activities do you typically facilitate when working with toddlers?

"We usually build with blocks and legos. The kids really enjoy arts and crafts, so we will make a different craft each time we meet. We made edible play dough out of peanut butter last week and then we made sculptures out of the dough. We also do a lot of reading out loud."

Share some activities you like to do with toddlers. Keep the activities age appropriate and relevant to the job. If you are interviewing at a daycare, think of activities you can play in groups, like games and crafts. If you will be doing child care for a family, you may want to ask about the kids first. You can recommend much better activities when you know more about what the kids enjoy.

Rachelle's Feedback

It's good to keep children active! Can you be more specific on what type of age-appropriate activities you would lead if given a chance?
