disagree  vhernandez: Perdona Clayton, pero esto parece ser un certificado de que estudio Preescolar
11 mins
  -> No entiendo lo que quieres decir con tu comentario. Lo importante para mi era lo de "Certificate", porque aunque la carrera se llame "Master's" o "Bachelor's," casi todos los estados de EEUU exigen que cada maestro tenga un "teaching certificate."

disagree  vhernandez: Hola Lindsey, Graduate Degree no es licenciatura es un undergraduate degree... ademas uno puede estar graduado y no licenciado.
4 mins
  -> In the UK a graduate is someone who has successfully completed their studies on an undergraduate course. I know that the situation is not the same in the USA
neutral  Sol: I disagree with Victor: Lindsey is not talking about a "graduate degree". "Graduate" means she finished college, she "graduated".
13 mins
  -> graduate in the UK, means you have obtained a first degree at university , i.e: BA, BSc or BEd

Certified in Early Childhood Education


Explanation:
In the US the certification is given by the state, and it's not automatic when getting a degree. If this person's degree allows her to teach, I would say "certified".
