I had some questions about degree requirements/guidance for moving to Japan to teach toddlers/English in Japan. I am an American (29F) and own my own home daycare in the US. I am married, if that matters. I have the basic childcare credits needed to do this but do not have a degree in ECE. Rather, I have an associates degree in political science, but didn’t end up going that route. I’m taking an introductory Japanese class at my local community college and may pursue another associates in Japanese.
Would having two associates degrees, one in Japanese, meet the bachelor degree requirement for teaching in Japan? Alternatively, the quickest bachelor degree I could pursue would be a general studies degree, with a concentration in business administration. I know I’ll need to get a TEFL certificate as well. Any helpful tips are appreciated, thank you.
