What are good colleges to go to if you want to be a preschool teacher and own your own preschool?

Question

Ever since i always wanted to be a preschool teacher and own my own preschool but i don't know what colleges are good to go to.

Answer 1

The best in the country is Bank Street in New York City. However, it doesn't offer much in the way of traditional college experiences nor does it offer an undergraduate degree. Another good one is Wheelock College in Boston. It is very small but has excellent programs with lots of hands-on experiences and Boston is a great place to go to school.

Answer 2

You don't have to go to college to be a preschool teacher.  You can get training while you work or get your CDA.  It would benefit you to go if you plan on being a director or owner.  Although you really don't need a degree to be a director or owner either.  But It will may you more knowledgeable then those directors who don't have a clue about children.  Just remember preschool teachers top pay is 10.00 but not all schools are willing to pay that. You need to how heart because the pay is not alway pretty.  Think about getting an Administration Certificate in Early childhood it take about a year @ community colleges.  Look online to see what it takes to open your own center.

Answer 3

I am not a totally sure but I do not think you have to go to school to become a pre-school teacher. If you want to teach kindergaten you do. The University of Phoenix lets you take classes online.
