What early childhood education units do preschool teachers need?

Question

Also include units for administrators. Please include link to website if possible.

Answer 1

Usually it depends on the state in which you live... some states have very minimal requirements of a high school diploma and the ability to read and write. Others, like California, where I live have stricter standards. Here, you need to have at LEAST 6 units of early childhood education classes from a college in order to apply for a job. Most require at least 12 units in the "core" areas: child development, child/family&community, curriculum development, and a principles class in order to be a teacher in the classroom. For administrators, you are generally required (in CA) to have at least an Associate Degree (for private preschools) and a BA for a site director which includes 24 units of CDE classes and 6 administration units and 2 adult supervision (mentor) units. You can look at a sample of CA's child development permit matrix which tells you requirements in order to meet their standards for gaining their additional "endorsement" for preschool-age teachers at:
