11. Do you have a list of books you would enjoy reading to your class?
How to Answer
There is no right or wrong answer here, just your preferences. As a preschool teacher, you likely have your favorite resources, so it should not be difficult for you to list these off-hand. It's a great idea to ask the interviewer if there are any favorite books and resources used at their childcare center. You never know what you will learn!
