I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Catalyst Kids (Sacramento, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
I applied as an associate teacher online and they got back to me to schedule for a phone interview the following week. After the phone interview, they then scheduled for an in-person interview the week after that. They were pretty fast in this process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Catalyst Kids (Fairfield, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Initially, there was a phone screening with a recruiter, which lasted about 20-30 minutes (depends on the length of your answers). After the phone screening, the recruiter explained the positions available and, based on experience and education, recommended the individual for an on-site interview at one of their centers.
The in-person interviews vary by site and director.
