Abstract

The educational requirements for early childhood education teachers have been a concern to those inside and outside the field. The United States has not established state or national standards or certification processes for teachers in non-public school early childhood education programs. Rather they are embedded in licensing standards for centers and contain minimum requirements for classroom teachers. This paper reviews studies regarding the relationship between the teachers’ qualifications and the quality of programs in their classrooms. It concludes that early childhood teachers with a higher educational level provide a more positive quality of early childhood education program in relation to motivating children to follow directions, using innovative and high- level activities, and providing a more sociable and cognitive environment where children develop better use of the language and perform at a higher level on cognitive tasks. It suggests that to improve the quality of programs for young children we must raise the standards and increase the qualifications of early childhood education teachers.
