Teaching

I am a preschool teacher and would recommend looking for pre-scools that are acredited. For example, some schools are NAEYC acredited which means the school pased all requirements to become a school dedicated to teaching young children. Montessori schools should be accredited. Do not forget to check the credentials of the staff when making your final decisions.

Hi A.,

I am actually finishing my degree in Early Childhood Education and Development right now! I bet if you advertise at some local colleges you could get some really good applicants. I would suggest Texas Woman's University (where I attend), Collin College (I also have taken classes from their Child Development Department... so good!) - formerly Collin County Community College, and University of Texas at Dallas (they've got a fairly new Education Department).

You could also request to be included in the list of places that are approved to be observed by the students or used in their Service Learning. You could find some really good teachers through hosting their Service Learning or Student Teaching.

Any new teachers would be fresh and up to date on the new preschool techniques and guidelines. I currently work in a Pre-K classroom in the Richardson ISD, and I think the new direction Pre-K is taking is SO exciting!

I hope this helps!
Good luck with your school!

I am looking for a preschool for my 4 year old in the carrollton area. Where are you located.

Are you looking for Montessori teachers? Daycare type teachers? I would recommend posting some flyers at the local colleges for the people taking Childcare Education classes and looking to get into preschool.

Hi, I am 30 yrs old and have a one year old daughter. I want to become a preschool teacher. I am currently looking for employment at a daycare or preschool that I could bring my daughter to work with me. I am not certified to teach yet, but I would like to get my feet wet in a learning environment as an assistant or helper. any suggestions?
