Are all those online colleges legit? Can I get an elementary education degree from any of them?
Answer:
No, not all of them are legitimate.
You need to contact your State Department of Teacher Certification and ask what online degrees, if any, they accept for teacher licensing. No matter what claims an online college may make, your degree in elementary education will not be worth much if it does not qualify you for a teacher's certificate!
You will find links to certification requirements and contact information for all 50 states at this site. Incidentally, there is certification reciprocity between many states, so once you fulfill the requirements for one state you likely will be eligible for certification in many other states.

Best of luck.

Some of them are legitimate--others aren't. The best online programs are offered by traditional universities--although many of them do require some actual physical classroom presence, others do not. The University of Phoenix is accredited--although its mediocre in terms of academic quality.
In all honesty--you will be better off--and probably it will be cheaper--to go to a good publicuniversity in your state. If you need to, you can start at a local community college--the credits will transfer. Also bear in mind a degree in education requires student teaching--and you will have better contacts through a local university to do this. If your local university offers some courses online (many do now) that's fine--but trying to do the whole thing online is not a good idea.
