You'll have to start by working with Child Care Services. To start, you have to purchase a licensing packet and attend a free orientation class (pre-registration required). These are held monthly. Once you get all that done, then you can start working through the packet. Depending on what kind of day care center you want to provide (group day care, family day care, or child care learning center), click on the "Rules and Regulations" link on the left side of the page via the link below. \n\nGood luck!

You will need to be certified somehow. There are a lot of Technical Schools that teach Early Childhood Education. If you take the associates course, you can help with teaching, but to actually teach the class, you need the 4 year bachelors degree. (which you can also obtain from a Tech school.) Good luck on whatever you decide.

You may want to read the free article "How To Start Your Own Day Care Center" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol40/daycare.htm. It covers various aspects of starting and running a daycare center including the demand for daycare centers, how to start this business, shoestring strategies, how to operate a daycare center, tips on caring for the children, income potential, how to manage your daycare, marketing your business and other additional income potential. There are so many things to learn about the business that the first step is to read everything you can find.\n\nFor in-depth information, I suggest checking out the following books:\n\n- Start and Run a Profitable Home Day Care http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1551801132/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid \n- The Daycare Provider's Workbook http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/096780101X/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid \n- Start Your Own At-Home Child Care Business  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0943135087/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid\n- So You Want to Open a Profitable Child Care Center : \nEverything You Need to Know to Plan, Organize and Implement a Successful Program http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0943135532/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid\n\nIt is also important that you learn the tax rules affecting daycare centers, especially if you are going to open one from your home. Here is the IRS page on child care centers: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/industries/content/0,,id=99878,00.html\n\nGood luck!

Do you want to be a childcare "teacher" in a day care program or a "pre-k teacher" in a more structured educational program?  To work in a day care you need a high school diploma, first aid, and other continuing education credits (some will ask for an associate's degree) but not necessarily college.  \nTo teach "pre-k" in a more structured program you will need a college degree.  In many states it is now a teacher certification area requiring state licensure and qualifies you to teach in programs like head start, pre-k, kindergarten, etc. \nLook at colleges with "early childhood education" programs.  They are usually part of the education school/ department.

Go to the website for ODJFS (Ohio Department of Job and Family Services). They will either have information there for you or you can download the rules for daycare providers and the first section of those rules (if I'm remembering correctly) will tell you what steps to take and what requirements you have to meet. Good luck!

that's harder and harder to do these days.  i would start off at a daycare that doesn't require a degree, they still exist.  then go from there, some places don't necessarily require a degree if you have the experience.

Generally you have to pass a State Board of Education Certification test, which are given about 4 or 5 times each year. You also will most likely need to go through a college or university education program. Check with your local board of education and state board of education for all specific requirements for your home state.

It's called a General Education Development certificate. Call most any local high school and ask where to find out more information. These are frequently given at local colleges. They usually take four hours or so and there's a small fee.

You need to find out what your state requires.  About.com has good info on homeschooling and how to begin and the basics:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/od/gettingstarted/p/homeschool101.htm\n\nAnd a list of links to state requirements and laws regarding homeschooling:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/cs/gettingstarted/a/legalusa.htm\n\nThey also have many resources and unit studies.\n\nThere are many places online that have numerous resources from worksheets, to projects, to lesson plans and unit studies.\n\nLocally you might have a homeschool group which meets for playdates, or classes or activities.  Probably your local library will know of some contacts.\n\nGood Luck!

Most larger nursing homes offer in-house certification if you become employed there, usually with the stipulation that you stayed employed there for a certain amount of time after your certification. Our nursing home also offers Med Tech courses as well. good luck :)

Georgia law provides that any adult person 25 years of age or older, or an adult couple married and living together, may adopt a child who is more than ten years younger than both adoptive parents.  Each adoptive parent must be a resident of the state of Georgia and must prove he or she is financially, mentally, and physically able to have permanent custody of a child.\n\nFor adoptions of a international child, the country of origin often has restrictions for the adoption.  The restrictions can involve your marital status, sexual orientation, number of children currently in your household, MAXIMUM age, etc.  Usually there isn't a specific minimum age.\n\nIf you are serious about adoption, you should contact a local adoption agency who can best answer to your specific situation.
