What can I major in to become an elementary school teacher?

Hi. I am a freshman at a liberal arts college and want to become an elementary school teacher. My school offers an education certification program, but I have to pick a major. They have human development, but I am really not interested in it. If I choose to major in something like biology or french, will that make me a less qualified candidate to get a job as a teacher. I just DO not enjoy human development as much as others in the course do. But I still want to become an elementary school teacher.

Normally liberal arts would be a good major for that but I think you can pretty much major in anything just as long as you meet the requirements to be a teacher in the state that you live in
