Hi, it depends on the state you live in. I would strongly recommend going for Early childhood degree. It would provide you more insight and eventually you can decide if you would like to pursue a major in grad school. It will also open more avenues for you through volunteering at different school settings and internships.

Hello Autumn: May I suggest that you first start by looking up whatever certification is required in your state and do it. Some states may or not require that you have a teaching degree. But, I'd suggest that you go for a degree because having it is good career insurance (especially if you decide to change careers later in life). And, at least you'll have a degree and won't have to go back to school unless you want an advanced degree. Hope this helps.
Good Luck to You!
