[quote=Anonymous]I am a former elementary teacher. After my kids were born, I took a break for their infant years, then taught preschool during their preschool years. At both preschools (two different states), I only had to pay half tuition for my child. The pay was not great—but that was outweighed by the convenience, matching schedule, reduced tuition, and low stress. Plus I could earn extra by doing the before care and after care programs—and my kid was allowed to participate in those at no added cost.

Can you start by subbing/doing aftercare at your child’s preschool? If not, can you find a PT job at another preschool—then next year go FT and switch your child to that school?

I stayed for the year my youngest was in K, and during that year took all the civil service exams I could so I would not have to go back to the grind and exhaustion of public school teaching. It worked. Definitely took a paycut but landed in a job related to education and my day ends at 4–no grading, no thinking about work outside of work, the time after the workday ends is mine.
