  1. I don't live in Oaklahoma, but I can tell you how to obtain this answer.

    I would call your local college (probably Community/Junior College would be sufficient)

    Ask to speak to a counsler and ask her how many ece units you need to take to teach early childhood.

    Good Luck...I hope this helps!
