      Answer Example

      "From my understanding, I meet the requirements to be a Preschool Director in this region. First, I have completed a BEd with a focus on Early Childhood Education. I also have six years of verified experience in the education and supervision of children under the age of 6. I also possess a valid CCP certification, making me a Certified Child Care Professional. I hold accreditation by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC). Are there any other licenses or qualifications you require? I am more than willing to obtain any additional certifications needed to succeed in this role."
