If not what else would I need to do?

Answer 1

In the US, to teach Kindergarten at a public school, you need a Bachelors Degree and you need to be certified through the state. You need to look up Florida's requirements, because all states have their own requirements on certification. Early childhood education in America means pre-Kindergarten, and to teach K-12 grades here in the states, you need to be certified beyond early childhood education.
