Why not look into local school programs? Many offer a lot online and then you can do evening classes for the in-seat. I dont personally know of anyone that gives a teaching degree with no formal student teaching. But it would be great for you to explore all your options. Doing a local program gives you an "in" for a regular job if you have student taught and have local references. It is usually for one semester so perhaps you can start saving up or use student loan funds to help make ends meet for that time down the road, where you wouldnt be able to do daycare and the student teaching. I would make appts with local college admissions counselors and check out those options.....assuming you have some local options.
