Question

What kid of pay should I expect with Early Childhood Education Associates Degree? Please help?

Answer 1

You could get a valid answer to your question by calling up a few Daty Cares and asking what they pay and how much more do they pay for someone with the training you describe.

Sadly I fear you'll find the pay is rather poor, around here the very best daycare pays about twice the minimum wage, or around >$10/hr.

Consult the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Using that gov't produced resource you can look up daycare as well as every other type of job, wages, conditions, pay etc.

Answer 2

Greatly depends on where you live!

Answer 3

22,000 a year.

Answer 4

about £1400 per year up to £2500 when experienced good luck.

Answer 5

In Washington State, where  pay is probably higher that many other states, someone with an ECE degree will average between $10.50-$11.00 per hour.  In my experience, the highest paying jobs can be found in community college child development centers, military bases, and federally funded sources.  You may also qualify to be a head start teacher, if your state has such a program.  Then you can work for a school district, with benefits and all.  As far as corporate child care companies go, Bright Horizons is a great company and has relatively high pay, but steer clear of KinderCare.  I used to be a director so I know!  It's still a good degree to have because it can open doors.  Good luck!

Answer 6

Not much. You need a full Bachelors in Education, preferably with some Masters-level work, in order to get the best jobs in your field. You might be able to find a job in the $30s, but that'll take some luck. You definitely won't be able to go higher than that.
