Do you have valid First Aid and CPR Certification?
"I understand the importance of current certifications in First Aid and CPR, which is why I have registered to take both certifications this coming month. Rest assured, my plan, before starting my career as a preschool teacher, includes full certification."
"I am certified! Since starting my career as a preschool teacher, I have never allowed my certifications to lapse. I have brought my certification documents with me today. Feel free to make a copy for your records."
Your answer can be a simple yes or no; however, you should come prepared for the interview with proof of certification. If you require any upgrading, you are best to address this before the interviewer does.
"I do have valid First Aid and CPR certifications. I brought my certification documents for you to verify, and feel free to take a photocopy or scan for your records. You will notice that my First Aid is expiring at the end of June. I have already registered for a re-certification class."

If you can, be sure to bring your certs with you to show the interviewer that they are current and valid. They may request a copy for your employee file as well.
