How should I go about becoming a kindergarten teacher? I need guidance!

I (25F) want to become a kindergarten teacher (I'm very open to preschool too!), but I'm a bit lost on how to go about it. I don't have a bachelors in ECE nor any certifications or licenses, but I do have my bachelors in Mass Communications. I've never worked with children professionally, but I've interacted with children throughout my life (e.g. family, babysitting, tutoring, etc.). They are a pleasure to have in my presence, and the thought of teaching so many little humans how to read and write, be their window to the world (outside of their parents), socialize with their peers and superiors, manage their emotions, etc. puts a big smile on my face!

I've been applying to a bunch of TA jobs from daycare to kindergarten in hopes of getting my foot in the door and experience working with children in an educational setting. I have hope, but I do worry that my lack of teaching experience and not specifically holding a bachelors in ECE nor any certifications or licenses is preventing me from getting a call back.

Kindergarten teachers, what do you all suggest that I do? How can I become a kindergarten teacher?

I didn't want to post a wall of text as to not overwhelm anyone, so feel free to ask me any questions if you're curious about anything!

EDIT: It seems like qualifications greatly differ state from state, so I’ll include where I’m located. I reside in the state of NC!
