I ask candidates to present a portfolio of their work and inquire about any personal or professional projects related to ECE.

Great approach, Gayle! Reviewing portfolios and discussing personal projects can reveal a candidate’s creativity, commitment, and expertise in early childhood education. Well done!

We gauge a candidate’s passion and dedication by what schooling they have already achieved/their willingness for schooling as it is becoming a requirement to at least have a short certificate.

Even if we get candidates who have never worked in childcare before, you can tell their passion based off their willingness to learn and how they talk about the potential job and gaining experience.

I ask for specific examples of their experience and take them on a tour to see how they interact with the community!
