Nearly 17,000 young learners under age 5 live in the Northwest Florida region, and each one deserves a bright future. That future starts with early education, an essential step that prepares them for lifelong learning and success.

Unfortunately, many children don’t have access to early education programs because of shortages of childcare teachers. In fact, more than half of the parents in the Northwest Florida region have encountered difficulties securing adequate early learning opportunities due to a lack of available educators.

Early childhood education is a fulfilling and rewarding profession that really makes a difference and supports the lives and early development of so many children. You now have the opportunity to become a part of the solution – help kickstart the future success of local children, along with the success of your own career.

Why Become a Childcare Teacher?

Childcare teachers have Florida’s future in their hands – literally.

Serving as a childcare teacher is an essential first step in helping a child achieve long-term success. Children entering kindergarten truly ready for school have an 82% chance of mastering basic skills by the time they’re 11, compared to just 45% for children who are not prepared. Childcare teachers help ensure that more students succeed academically and have brighter futures.

Becoming a childcare educator is a fast path to a rewarding profession. 

Ready to begin a fulfilling career, fast? Becoming a childcare teacher is a quick path to a rewarding profession. Unlike the requirements to be a public school teacher, becoming a childcare teacher only requires a set of certifications that many dedicated individuals can attain (specific credentialing and training depends on the type of provider).

There’s a critical need for childcare teachers in the area.

Childcare teachers are essential to a child’s lifelong learning, and more of these dedicated educators are needed in the area. You can make a real difference and experience long-term job security by becoming a childcare teacher.

Make a living making a difference. Give children’s education and your career a head start at the same time by becoming a childcare teacher.
