Robin Said:

What exactly is early childhood care and education?

We Answered:

This degree is to help you learn how to work at and potentially manage a daycare center or preschool. With this degree, you would be more likely to be in charge of the preschool program at a daycare center or private school. There is also a degree called "Elementary Education" in which you would learn to be a teacher for the first few years of school.

online classes to get a degree in early childhood education in richmond, VA?

We Answered:

You're very smart to be wary about penn foster since there are a countless number of bad reviews about the school. Please do steer clear of those online, for-profit schools (may have 'bricks and mortar' buildings and may be 'accredited') such as stratford career, penn foster, capella, university of phoenix, everest, colorado tech, ITT tech, ashworth, kaplan, anthem, walden, devry, ashford, sanford brown and others as they are merely out to 'make a profit' (and course credits may not transfer): http://www.ripoffreport.com and can type into search.

Another consumer site: http://www.pissedconsumer.com and type into search.

Most colleges offer some online courses. Perhaps consider the county community college or traditional university. For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ

For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'teachers' or such.

Just a word to the wise to consider working, at least, on a part-time basis as a teacher's aide before pursuing a teaching degree as some students don't realize until they get to their 'student teaching' that the field was not what they'd anticipated :)

Jennifer Said:

Can you get a BS online after getting an AA degree in Early Childhood Education ?

We Answered:

Yes -- you can get a BS online after getting an AA. However, no one will respect it.

No one knows of any good online colleges (or collages, for that matter) -- because there aren't any.


You would be much better off gong to a real university. The average college graduate from an online university makes about $20K less per year than someone who goes to a real university. And since online colleges are more expensive than respected public universities, it is just not a good idea.

Kelly Said:

Has anyone gone to two schools at the same time-online school and a regular university?

We Answered:

Yes, I have but only part time at the second school (1/2 classes at the most), note that you have to pay out of pocket for the second school.

Carrie Said:

Im looking to go to school and get a degree for Early Childhood Education. Does anyone have any suggestions?

We Answered:

You would be best off going to a brick and mortar school. You will find networking easier, make friends and have a different relationship with professors and school administrators./
