Question

How do i get in to becoming a nursery school teacher, how??

Answer 1

Your local community college offers units in child development.  Talk to a councelor and ask what the requirements are to get a child development credential.  Its better if you get your AS in child development.  If you work for a Head Start program you will be required to have an AS degree.  Depending in what state you live in starting pay for a person holding a child development credential and AS degree , is 18 dollars to 20 dollars an hour with benefits.  Some programs will pay for your credential if you are already working with young children.  I worked for the Head Start program as an aide (require 6 units to get hired) and they had a program that helped pay for my classes.  It was great because starting pay was 12 dollars an hour for 4 and a half hours a day and I took home 800.00 dollar a month and had time to go to school.  Some high schools offter child development classes (they are college prep classes.)

Answer 3

Find out the requirements in your state.  Ands get certified and go to a nursery or daycare center and apply.  They should tell you whether or not you are qualified and how long it would take to become qualified.

Answer 4

Depends on the state. Check out colleges, universities, community colleges and continuing education programs. It all depends on the state and school that you want to teach at. Discuss it with a director of a center. Some centers will hire you and help you with the schooling and credentials you need. Good luck!

Answer 5

It depends on the state you live or want to work in. Most want you to be working toward a degree in Early Childhood Education. Other thing you should know...

It (sadly) does not pay enough about $10-$12 per hour.

It not just playing with children it is guiding them and helping them develop socially, emotionally and physically.

You have to deal with parents and or what ever family is racing the child and they can be difficult at times.
