How long does it usually take to become a early childhood teacher?
A bachelor's degree is required in early childhood education. It takes approximately four years. Two years are required to take general education courses offered by most universities.
After your undergraduate studies, most people enroll in graduate school. This step allows you to specialize in a particular area of study.
For example you could focus on child psychology, or learning disabilities. You must apply for a teacher preparation program after you have completed your master's degree.
