Question Hi
I would like to inquire further about possibilities of working as a Pre School or Kindergarten Teacher in USA.I have a two year degree from Africa and am now taking a AA degree in Early Childhood Dev't, which I have just begun.Would I be able to get a job as a Kindergarten/pre school teacher before enrolling for my 4 year degree program?
Any hints will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Answer Most states require a 4 year degree in order to teach but there are many positions as teacher aides for individuals who have an AA degree. Once you have decided where you plan to live, you should inquire of the specific school districts in that area in order to determine specific requirements,as well as job openings.
