Not to contradict Bryan, but by way of providing another perspective –
If you’re interested in working with really young kids and their families, I think you could find a home in the zero-five sector. Although you may encounter suspicion and poor wages (oh boy) it’s worth it to a lot of us. Want to make an impact – get them young and get their parents on board to. At times, I think I’ve benefited from a pro-male preschool teacher preference some people have (despite the “diaper issue”).
I believe the California AEYC has a very active male teacher group – check them out. Good luck,
