You can do that. I don't know why you would. That seems like a waste of time since you can get your teaching license and start teaching as long as you have a bachelors(at least that's what the law is in my state) and several universities offer masters for teaching and will place you in teaching programs.

Comment on What relationship is more important in regards to early childhood education? Parent/teacher or teacher/child? by susieb

personally, I feel that the teacher/child relationship is more important. I work in a child care facility where the children are dropped off by sitters, aunts, even grandparents. Since my shift ends before pick up time, I rarely see a parent.

The teacher/child relationship is more important. The child has little power in this relationship, so it needs to be solid. A preschooler in an unhappy situation regarding his/her teacher doesn’t have the language or maturity to recognise and explain what’s going on.

If the parent/teacher relationship breaks down, the adults can negotiate and rectify it. The adults can request a change of class placement but the child cannot do this, he/she is just stuck in an unworkable situation.

I’m training to be an Early Years teacher so it’s only my opinion, but I think the relationship between teacher/ child is much more important. Of course, you have to keep parents involved with their child’s education and development but as a teacher of young children, you have to get to know them on, dare I say it, quite a personal level. You need to be aware of their likes and their dislikes, you have to observe them and know what they like doing and what they engage in and adjust your style of teaching to fit in with their style of learning, otherwise it’s meaningless to them. I feel we need to involve parents and update them as much as possible as they want the best for their child and we definitely need to build up a GOOD relationship, but at the end of the day, it is purely professional. You wouldn’t say things like, "Oh, I absolutely adore your daughter, I just want to take her home with me!" Or something similar, which isn’t meant to be taken seriously and should be sweet and a bit of fun because we’re professionals. However, the relationship between teacher and child is close and genuine and one of trust and honesty with the child.

Your question is not really clear as to what you are looking out for. If you require institutions that offer a bachelor of early childhood education online, then there are quite a few like Ashford University, Grand canyon University, Ellis University etc. For complete information regarding your question, do visit http://www.onlineedublog.com/

Comment on what can I do with an early childhood education major and a music major? by medeepthinker

Yes you can make more money with more than one major, but there are other factors to consider.
The key to security in teaching is tenure. Along with this come seniority. As most teaching positions, in the public sector, require you to join the teachers union, after you are able to secure tenure, then your seniority, years of service, and right to choose, based on your seniority and specific teaching positions that are available, will lead to better pay. Of course, better pay is available in school districts that are in more affluent neighborhoods. This is because school districts are funded by property taxes, so the more affluent the area, the more money to spend on schools and the more money to pay school teachers.
Pit falls, of course, are times when strikes may occur. Not being able to get a job in a more affluent school district. There is often behind the scenes competition and politics of the interaction with fellow teachers for jobs and limited resources. Though the last few decades, teachers at all levels have tended to lean or were coerced to lean to the political left, there is now a shift beginning to occur as a growing understanding and sentiment is beginning to take hold that the leftist ideology, ideas, and practices are more hurtful than helpful, so a move to the center or a little bit right of center seems to be occurring. Most of all, really good teachers were often stuck where they are unless they want to give up tenure and seniority, because neither are transferable to another school district, not even within the same county. This is often the bane of really good teachers who after becoming successful and content, gain a desire to want to give back and be a teacher in a less affluent school district, but cannot make the move due to these realities.
Ultimately, success is relative. Meaning, if you do what you love and are able to live happily with the means you are able to procure, then the happiness you experience along with the knowledge that you have made a difference in so many lives, will be your best reward.

Hope this helps…
Mark
