  1. Yes, but you need to pass you will need to complete and pass a teacher education. It also depends on what grade level you want to teach.


  2. i think as a nation-wide requirement you have to some form of high school diploma [[ged or otherwise]] and an associates degree [[2 years]] in early childhood education. you can get this from most community colleges and universities

  3. honestly i would hope that you need more than a GED but i cant imagine them not requiring at least that

  4. it would be up to the school that she wants to teach at, but I assure you, you are probably correct.

  5. uhhh u should

  6. Oh I think you need to go to college and get a degree in early childhood development

  7. even if the law doesnt say that im sure no place would hire anyone without a diploma to be a preschool teacher...i think you even need a degree...maybe she could be a helper but that at most.

  8. I hope they at least require that!

  9. I am a preschool teacher in Florida.  You do need your GED and 12-24 hours (depends on the county!) of higher education in specific disciplines in early childhood education.  You do not need a college degree as some have mentioned.  I encourage it , but it is not required.  You can be an aide without a GED or diploma in some settings but not a teacher.  The specific information you seek would be found at your counties child licensing department.  I live in Escambia County in the panhandle.  Good Luck

  10. To be a licensed pre-school teacher, your friend will need her GED and some higher education as well. If she wants to start a career, she needs to take care of her education first.

  11. You need a COLLEGE DEGREE to become a preschool teacher, not just a GED or high school diploma.

  12. tell her to go back to school and get a stinkin HS diploma...its pathetic not to have one, and shes never going to get anywhere with out it!
