⚠⚠⚠ $24,540 separates a preschool teacher from a kindergarten teacher, and the children are one year apart. Preschool $38,140, kindergarten $62,680 — the difference is not the work, it is which system employs you and which credential you hold. ⚠⚠ Florida sets the minimum for a VPK lead instructor at a Child Development Associate credential, which is not a degree, and its public institutions award 1,017 child care credentials a year of which ZERO are degrees.
