Depending on the location of this Preschool Director opportunity, required licenses and other certifications will vary. You will need a criminal history check or a state registry check. Other potential requirements include a permit from your local governing body, a state teaching or directors' certificate, along with other non-negotiable educational requirements. You may also need to pass a state competency exam that demonstrates your knowledge of early childhood education.
Before your interview, familiarize yourself with the requirements of this opportunity. Be prepared to discuss the licensure that you hold, and give an overview of your related education. If you lack any specific qualifications or regional requirements, be upfront about what is lacking and discuss what you are actively doing to meet these requirements.

"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."
