Last I heard you don't need a degree to graduate preschool.

Go to the department of education for your state and look up the requirements.  With a master's, you can teach at a community college.  \n\nIf you want to teach K-12 you need a teaching credential.  If you didn't major in education and want to teach, you can do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program.  These are acclerated programs for working adults, they give you all the coursework you need to become certified.  You can also do that kind of program through your school district IF you are hired for a teaching job.  You can't do it through your district unless you are hired.  \n\nIt's a confusing process, isn't it?  Start with your DOE website, though.  Good luck!

Get a masters degree and teach at a community college. In some states you can teach while you take the required classes to obtain certification...you have to teach elementary school though.

I majored in Child Development. I don't do much with it now, but it does come in handy every now and again with my own children. You learn about how children develop ie: average age they begin to walk, talk, etc.

Working with an early childhood development major can mean several jobs..  it also depends which other courses you take, and how long you continue school.\n\nI know several people who have taken ECD courses to become childcare workers in daycare centers, learning centers, and such.\n\nIf you take the required education for a teaching certificate, you would have the ability to be a teacher.. most likely concentrating on elementary school level.\n\nYou could also take courses and education in counseling... and work towards a child counselor career.\n\nThere really are many options out there.  The best resource I have found when dealing with courses and majors have been the college faculty.  By speaking with those who teach the courses, and counselors supplied by the college, you can gain valuable knowledge on your career opportunities.\n\nBest of luck in your education and your choices!!

An undergraduate degree (sometimes called a first degree or simply a degree) is the most common and lowest academic degree available and is normally studied at a higher education institution, such as a university. \n\nOnce you have obtained this degree Associates, Bachalor Etc . you can go for your Graduate degree such as...Masters, PhD Etc.\n\nHope this helps.

it depends on your state, the age levels you'd like to work with, and the type of TA you'd like to be. \n\nIf you're interested in working in public schools with K-12th grade, check with your state and the school district (most school districts have a webpage that includes hiring information and will tell you exactly what they expect for their TAs).\n\nIf you're interested in working with infants/toddlers/preschoolers, then you'll want to take Early Childhood Education credits.  Most community colleges offer those.  Just a couple courses usually get you qualified to be a TA in a preschool.  The more ECE credits you earn, the higher up the chain (and pay scale) you can go. There are lots of these jobs listed in the classifieds of most newspapers.  They often say the # of credits required to apply.  \n\nGood luck!  (remember there are lots of jobs out there that don't require weekends -- be prepared to work hard M-F if you're a TA.)

if you want to teach you should major in education. i majored in psychology and you can take lots of classes on child development. i did my required 80 hours at Head Start in a preschool classroom, so that was fun.  Or do both. depends on what programs your school has, but you could find a good education program to major in, and minor in psych.

There's two routes.  You can either do a B Ed degree or, if you have a degree already, do the PGCE (1 year long).  \n\nThe days of being able to enter the profession without a degree are gone - although, frankly, why on earth one needs to have studied Beowulf to teach kids to read is beyond me.\n\nSupplementary - Yep although you may be well advised to check on the current level of demand for teachers in that age group - a couple of years ago alot of people were coming out of training only to find it difficult to find jobs.

It depends on the college, really. You will certainly have to study various forms of child psychology and sociolgy. You'll also take courses in teaching strategies. The best place to look would be your college's website!

Check your local university's Education Department. The secretary will be able to provide up-to-date information concerning degree requirements and even alternative certification programs. Good luck.
