I work at an elementary school in Georgia, but generally, the child has to be 5 on or before September 1 of the year they are starting Kindergarten.  You need to call the Elementary school that you are assigned to according to your address. Find out if they are having an early Kindergarten registration this April or May.  If so, GO!!  At our school, we get pre-registration information (FIND OUT what you need to bring - take it ALL!) early because some parents may not have all the documents they need if they wait until school starts in the fall.  We also test each child (reading only to determine level and ESOL status).  If you don't know which school your child will attend, call the county school office and they can tell you. Act early - some parents wait.  It's good to let you and your child see the school, classroom, other kids, etc. ahead of time rather than waiting until the rush of school starting next fall!  Good luck and RELAX!

I believe all states have a minimum Bachelor's Degree as a requirement for Teaching. Some ,like NY ,require a Master's. Check out the Arizona Department of Education's website for specific requirements or just visit any local 4 year college.\n\nhttp://www.ade.state.az.us/certification/\n\nhttp://coe.arizona.edu/pages/\n\nGood luck to you! :)

Educational Requirements  \n\nIn Alberta, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in Edmonton offers a two year Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technology program. The program includes 34 weeks of clinical practicum at rural hospital sites throughout Alberta. The entrance requirement is a minimum of 60 per cent in English 30, Pure Math 30 (Math 30), Chemistry 30, Biology 30. Physics 30 is highly recommended and a high school diploma. However, this is a quota program so higher marks are generally required to gain admission. A career investigation report is required. \n\nNAIT also offers a one year Medical Laboratory Assisting certificate program. The entrance requirement is a minimum of 60 per cent in Biology 30, Chemistry 30, English Language Arts 30-1 and Pure Math 30. A high school diploma is recommended.\n\nFor current information about programs, admission requirements and mature student admission policies, please check post-secondary calendars or websites.

You need to find out what your state requires.  About.com has good info on homeschooling and how to begin and the basics:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/od/gettingstarted/p/homeschool101.htm\n\nAnd a list of links to state requirements and laws regarding homeschooling:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/cs/gettingstarted/a/legalusa.htm\n\nThey also have many resources and unit studies.\n\nThere are many places online that have numerous resources from worksheets, to projects, to lesson plans and unit studies.\n\nLocally you might have a homeschool group which meets for playdates, or classes or activities.  Probably your local library will know of some contacts.\n\nGood Luck!

You have Kindergarten as the lowest grade. Then 1st, 2nd, ect.. all the way up the the 12th grade. Then you graduate, and maybe go to college. Grades K-5 are Elementary School, 6-8 are Middle school, and grades 9-12 are High school. :)

i think you should send your little kid to kindergarten first.\nthat would prepare him for the big school, he needs some socializing and ideas about the real world. \nhe needs to learn the basics and some of the super basics..

That . . . I don't know . . . but you are going to need funding . . . and a scholastic institute like a university.\n\nPlus you are going to need equipment and various other studies . . . check with Dartmouth University . . . I can't remember who is in charge there or whether it is still operation but they had a Center there.

I'm a therapist. You'll need at least a Masters Degree in counseling or social work to get started, then after about 2 years of working in the field you take various tests, I took the NCE (national counselors examination), and an ethics test. I'm not sure on the specifics about Maine. Check out this web-site; http://www.nbcc.org or http://www.counseling.org   Any under \ngrad degree in behavioral science or social work will due.

I teach Kindergarten in Ga. and we had our pre-registration weeks ago.  Call you neighborhood school and ask them when they would like you to come in to register your son.

"The best place to start gathering information on what will be expected of your <child> is the school that they will be attending. Most school corporations have a readiness checklist for children entering their kindergartens. You need this list because it will tell you the skills that the school expects your <child> to have when they enter kindergarten. Use it as a guide for getting them ready for school.\nHere is a checklist that you can use right now to see if your child meets the general expectations of most kindergartens. Your <child> should be able to do the following:\n\n\nspeak clearly enough to be understood\n\nknow their name, address, phone number, and parents' full names\n\nbe happy away from home\n\nhandle all their personal needs, such as going to the bathroom and tying shoes\n\nplay well with other children, share toys and games, and respect others' property\n\nmake simple choices\n\nexpress their own needs and wants in an age-appropriate manner\n\nfollow rules, especially safety rules\n\nfollow a series of three directions\n\nChildren who are well prepared for the academic side of school will be able to handle the following tasks most of the time:\n\ntell the right hand from the left\n\nuse crayons, paints, paste, and clay appropriately\n\ndraw rather than scribble\n\ntell or retell a story\n\nanswer questions about a short story\n\nlisten to a story for at least five minutes\n\nwork independently for five or more minutes\n\nlisten to a rhyme and hear similarities and differences\n\nrecognize similarities and differences in the sizes, shapes, and colors of objects\n\ncopy simple shapes\n\ncompare objects by size\n\nbounce and catch a ball showing the hand-eye coordination necessary for reading and math"

Rules are different everywhere so you really need to ask those questions of someone in your area.  Possibly visit a preschool and ask the teachers there.  They should be able to point you in the right direction.
