how do i study to become a pre school teacher?

Answer 1

Hi Rachel, i have been a preschool teacher for 20 yrs. Left public school;because i felt there were to many teachers(De-greed) like myself that just really don't care. Instead of the conversation in the teachers lounge being about how to help certain individual children; it was more on criticizing them and laughing. Don't misunderstand me, there are some excellent teachers in the field, but rare. Now to answer your question you have 2 ways...you can find a college, or trade school(Vocational School)
enroll in Child Development or the CDA Program. The program usually takes 2yrs. You will have credentials of a CDA ; which in the coming years are mandatory to work with children ages preschool-after schoolers. Your CDA Cred. is equivalent to an AS Degree.

In the state of Florida and others states 4C helps para-professional (beginning teachers) with the same exact classes that is needed for your credentials; the program for each cert. may vary it's a total of 12 comp. in each area that is needed. Your class can be 2days to 2 weeks depending on the subject.; but you can usually grad. with a CDA within 6-7 months after all 12 areas are completed and you have passed a test after each.

You also will need First Aide and CPR which is given at any local Red Cross for a small fee.

I wish you the best of luck and pray you are successful in this field. I have enjoyed it for 20 yrs. and wouldn't change for anything. The field is hard but rewarding, especially when you see scribble turn to A's, B's and soon a sentence. (Big Smile)

If you live in the UK you will need to study Early years care and education at a local college. You can do this to NVQ level 2, 3 or go onto do a foundation degree (level 4 and 5). With level 2 you can get a job as an assistant and with level 3 you can be a leader. Most of these couses are part time and you need to have a placement in a Pre School for your workplace assessments, so you will need to try to get a job while you study or volunteer maybe one day a week - some colleges help with this. You will also have to be police checked. Check out your local college - good luck!
