What is the salary of a pre-school teacher?

That's depends on a number of factors:

1. Where the teaching job is located.

2. What the starting pay for teachers is, in the school district where the teaching position is located.

3. Whether-or-not the teacher has any advanced degrees beyond a B.A. or B.S. such as an M.A. or M.S. or even, Ph.D.

4. How many years teaching, as an employee of a school district, the teacher has already. Most school districts will start a teacher at a higher point in the school district's salary schedule depending on how many years experience the teacher already has.

5. Whether the job is full or part-time.

I did find a site which lists the average starting pay for primary school teachers in the United States as being $25,707.00. But, that is an average.

It will also make a difference if the preschool is public or parochial. Parochial teachers' salaries are lower than those of public teachers.

That's very true! I should have remembered that. Most of my teaching that I did was at parochial schools.

I think the above post is probably average - but you also have to take into consideration if the children have special needs as well. SOMETIMES teachers get paid more to help special needs children!
