How long would a BA in elementary education take if you already have a AA in Arts?

It depends on what your AA is in. In other words, if your AA is in - lets say - journalism then not as many credits would be able to be placed into an elementary bachelors degree than if your AA was in elementary education or even straight liberal arts. It will depend on the receiving institution, their transfer credit policy, and the number of free elective areas with their elementary education program of study. In addition, it will also depend on your specialty within elementary eduction (science, English, math, history etc.). Certainly it will not take as long as the entire program of study, however you should - as best you can- put the time element aside. The most important thing is achieving your overall career goals and objectives. If teaching is your passion, then concentrate on being the best teacher you can. The academic counselors and program faculty should be able to guide you appropriately. Much of your AA should be transferable to your BA in elementary education.

What is the difference between a bachelor of arts in elementary education and a bachelor of science in elementary education?

It depends on the institution and business department within the school as to which focus they prefer. The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the liberal arts, in addition to the theoretical and general knowledge of the discipline. The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.

A baccalaurteate is a Bachelors Degree (Ba); the use of the degree depends entirely on the the material that was studied and what job it is being applied to.

Does an AA degree in Early Childhood Education qualify as a minor in Elementary Education?

If I understand your question correctly, the AA is a degree at the two year level and not a minor. If you take a bachelors degree, the associates would still remain a degree; a bachelors in elementary education, an associates of arts degree in early childhood education (which should be the way you would want it).
