How To Become A Preschool Teacher

Updated: Nov 18, 2023

To become a preschool teacher, it is usually necessary to obtain an associate's degree. For those working in center-based Head Start programs, an associate's degree is mandatory. However, at least half of all preschool teachers employed in Head Start programs nationwide must hold a bachelor's degree in early childhood education or a related field. Those with a degree in a related field, such as psychology, must have prior experience teaching preschool-aged children. In public schools, a minimum of a bachelor's degree in early childhood education or a related field is typically required for preschool teachers. These degree programs provide education on children's development, teaching young children, and observing and documenting progress.
