Yep. I taught it for a while and hated it. Most don't give benefits though. Tutor time does I think....

Re: Would you say it's easier to get a job...
I've been teaching it for 4 years. My first year I was in a private UPK. Made $11 and hour no benefits. Got out of there and headed to a Catholic School (where I am now). I make a catholic school salary (which is low compared to public obviously) and I have benefits. Don't think teaching Pre-K is easy. It's very difficult and you need a lot of patience. I'm tired of it and can't wait to teach another grade. They're cute but very needy. They don't pay me enough in a catholic school to basically be a glorified babysitter (which some of the parents and SOME faculty think I am). It's unfortunate b/c Pre-K is a very important time in a child's life. I think I would feel better if I was in a school that had a great curriculum but I had no choice but to follow a woman's plans that were about 20 years old. Hence the reason why I would like to move on. Sorry about the little vent!!

I did not mean the job itself is easier I just meant GETTING the job. Nothing looks promising for Sept.
I have been subbing in public schools and you are so right. When I did K I came home exhausted! That is def by far the hardest age group!

I'm sorry that came out the wrong way. I knew you didn't mean that teaching Pre-K was easy.
I was in your situation 4 years ago and did not want to sub. because there were no benefits so I know where you are coming from. I took the Pre-K jobs b/c I needed benefits and experience, but now I want out so bad. Finding a job is VERY difficult. The best of luck to you!   (job Dust lol)
