Why do you want to work at our childcare center?

"After being a Preschool Teacher in private and public sectors for many years, I understand the importance of a solid curriculum and heavy community involvement. I see both of these qualities here and look forward to carving out a career with a program that holds such a strong reputation."

You must research the childcare center before your interview. When the interviewer asks this question, you need to have a unique answer that goes deeper than the information you find on the home page of their website. Take a look at any community involvement, news reports, or online reviews, and form your reply from that data. If you have a personal attachment to the center, such as being the parent of a child who attended preschool there, it is excellent to mention this as well.

"I have had my eye out for new opportunities at this center since my children attended your program five years ago. They were always so happy to attend preschool here, and I appreciated the high standards of care and the great level of organization that I witnessed here."
