Here’s the FULL LIST of PRESCHOOL TEACHER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to become a Preschool Teacher?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Having studied the job description of a Preschool Teacher I feel strongly I have the necessary organizational and planning qualities to excel in the role. I also have the patience, the communication capabilities, the energy levels and the motivational techniques needed to help the children learn, thrive and develop during these very important years of their lives. I want to be a preschool teacher because it is a job I have been working towards for a number of years now. Teaching is a huge passion of mine, and I want a teaching role where I can make a big difference to the children I work with through my unique and supportive style of teaching. There comes a huge amount of responsibility with the role of a preschool teacher and I am very much looking forward to the challenge the job presents if I am successful at the interview today. “
Q2. Tell me the reasons why you have chosen preschool teaching as a profession?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“Before setting my heart on becoming a preschool teacher, I considered the role carefully, what I would need to do on a daily basis, and also the commitment that is needed. After looking into the position, and also speaking to other preschool teachers within the profession, I knew it was the only job I wanted to do. I chose the job of a preschool teacher for three reasons. The first reason is I will get to have a big impact on the children I am working with – I enjoy responsibility in my work, and I would get tremendous job satisfaction from seeing the impact my teaching has on children’s lives. The second reason is, I want a teaching position where you have to adapt your style of teaching to get your message and information across. All children are different in how they learn, and whilst some will be easy to support and teach, others will require a different method – that is a challenge I will very much enjoy. Finally, I chose preschool teaching because I am naturally a very patient person. To be effective as a preschool teacher, you need an abundance of patience, and this is something I possess.”
