Instructions
For this week, you will design 10 interview questions on two types of early childhood programs to ask the school administrator. These questions should generate information about the major characteristics of your selected programs. You will conduct the interviews in an upcoming assignment for the course. This interview will allow you to better understand the leadership role of an administrator at a daycare setting. Furthermore, the interview and formation of interview questions will be based around your state guidelines, regulations, and procedures that are related to early childhood programs.
You will formulate interview questions with the chosen types/models of programs in mind. The interview questions should generate enough information to provide a comparison and contrast of the early childhood centers chosen. Use the following categories to formulate your interview questions:
Role of administrator
Qualifications of administrator
Mission, vision, and philosophy
Curriculum utilized to meet the needs of the students
State guidelines, regulations, and procedures
Best practices/strategies used to integrate concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion
You will actively select two types/models of centers from the list below:
Public and private kindergartens, preschools, and child development programs
Early Head Start
Head Start
Private for-profit early childhood centers

Length: 10 interview questions
