Very casual, my interviewer kept things focused on my ability to work with children, public speaking, and working on a team. If you have any experience with working with kids, be sure to have some stories of how you have dealt with incidents relating to behavior.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Rye, NY) in May 2018
Interview
Straight forward interview process. The interview was about 10 questions that were asked. Behavioral type questions and situational questions were asked. Got a response back after about a week. The person who interviewed me was very nice.

Question 1
What would you do if you were in a certain situation?
Group interview with other canidates and panelists. Mostly get to know you style and situtational tasks. You will be interviewing alongside other canidadtes so make sure you stand out and seem unique. Howeer don;t overdo it and remain humble and willing to learn.
Fairly relaxed, standard questions related to your interest and experience with early childhood education. They didn't really go over my resume- many workers were in high school, so their expectations likely weren't high.
