1. The specific requirements depend upon the age of the children, the school, and the state. At the elem school where I work, the teacher assistants only have to have a high school diploma and some experience working with children. They post their job vacancies on their website. You might try looking at the websites of school systems near you to see if you see anything. At some pre-schools and daycares, you don't need special training to be an assistant. At others, it would be good to have your associate's degree (2 years) in early childhood education or at least some classes toward it. You can probably take some of these classes at your local community college. Look through their website to see what they offer. For jobs with pre-school kids, just look through the classifieds. The ads will let you know if they are looking for any special training. Around here, they always seem to be looking for help, so hopefully it's the same in your area and you can find a job soon!
