Question

Can you teach kindergarten with a earlychildhood degree or is it just for preschool?

Answer 1

What type of early childhood degree do you have? Do you have a BA in early childhood? What about certificates? Most States require a teaching certificate as well as an endorsement in whichever grade or content level you wish to teach. For example, I have my BA in Ed., a certificate to teach K-6 and an endorsement that makes me Highly Qualified to teach Pre-K-3rd grade.  Most States are looking for teachers that are "Highly Qualified" how that is defined State to State may differ.

Answer 2

yes im pretty sure

Answer 3

i always thought it was for pre-school...

Answer 4

It depends on the state's certification policy. Some states certify people for pre-K through 4th or 5th. Others separate early childhood. But many states will also allow you to add on additional certification by just taking a test once you've got one certification.

Answer 5

You must have a Bachelors in early childhood in most states  to teach elementary school age children.

Answer 6

In the state of KY you can teach preschool and kindergarten not any other grade :)

Answer 7

I think you can teach kinder at a private school. You can also be a teachers asst at a public school and while your there you can pursue your degree. Good luck.

Answer 8

Early childhood degrees go from kindergarten to third grade, to the best of my knowledge.

Answer 9

Early Childhood Education allows you to teach preschoolers. You need a B.A. to teach kindergarten.
