The ECE question seems to be a common one here. What the parents are really trying to determine is if I am a "babysitter" or if I plan to have a learning program. When asked the question somewhat ignore it in terms of answering yes or no and instead pull out your teaching plan - daily schedule, what type of activities you do with the children either by a list, bin of sample teaching materials, pictures of children engaged in learning time.

If you have taken any workshops show proof of those. Our association gives a certificate to prove attendance at all workshops that members can put into a portfolio. Having a portfolio that documents your training, experience and includes letters of reference, etc. is also great to pull out instead of answering yes or no to the question.
