Are kindergarten teachers in California required to have a teaching credential?

Question

My mother in-law is a pre-k teacher in California. She does not have her BA or as I understand it even a teaching credential. She has 120 units. Can she move to Kindergarten as is or would she have to become credentialled

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

No. All public school teachers need a credential to teach in CA. Many private schools also require a credential.

w/o a BA she's only qualified for something along the line of a tutor. w/a BA, passing the CBEST she can be asub teacher.. Emercency credentials are rare these days. If hired she'd have to get her credential withing 5yrs.

Answer 3

kindergarten is part of the public school system.  All public school teachers need a degree.
