Most were women in their childbearing years. Years of experience in the field of child care was not a good indicator of teacher behavior. Formal education was a better predictor than specialized training. However, both formal education and very high levels of specialized training prepare teachers to be effective in the classroom. For preschool teachers, it seems a bachelor's degree in any subject or specialized training at the college level is an effective route in competent teaching. Infant and toddler teachers appear more likely to need college level specialized training.
