Hi All

I currently work in OSHC as a team leader/coordinator but would like to become a childcare worker or kinder teacher. I have a Grad. Dip in Education and a Bachelor of Arts. I'm currently studying a Master of Education. What is my best path to get to where I want to be, and on a decent-ish wage? ($16 p/h isn't going to cut it) My quals seem to be not quite right, as they are not early childhood specific. Can anyone suggest an online uni and/or course that would be good? While I am studying, can I work in childcare/kinder and what would my wage be? Thanks so much, I can't find the answers anywhere! (have tried ringing child care centres and no-one gets back to me and employment agency is hopeless)

If you have a Bachelors degree you may be able to do a bridging course that gives you the education component or something like this

where you may get credit for the Arts and you just do the education part

Maybe contact Universities to see what credit you can get and how to get the education part
