    Usually you would major in Early Childhood Education which is usually pre-k to grade 3 or age 3 to age 8.

    1. Go to college and get a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education – this includes completing your student teaching. Or if you already have a bachelor’s in something else, go through an Alternative Certification Program.
    2. Pass certification exams
    3. Apply all over the place and cross your fingers and hope that someone is actually hiring!
