Find a local community college that offers primary or secondary education as a major. Apply for the Pell Grant, this can cover the cost of tuition, fees, and books. Depending on income and need, everything may be covered or you may receive a portion of money to just cover the price of tuition.\n\nThe application for the Pell Grant can be found below.\nGood Luck!

Go to the local college and ask them what you can do to get the training you need

You can have a campaign saying "Train to work at home", as they could open their own daycare at home after they get certified.  You should put emphasis on "Home Based Business" when you start the promotion.

I can only speak about our situation here in Northern ireland but most Trusts have SW trainee programmes where you agree to work for them after qualification (although actually they cant make you stick to it!)\n\nContact the training and development section of your local authority and speak to the most senior person you can get. If you are already half way through your training and doing OK you should be a cheap and attractive option for them\n\nAlternatively send a letter into community care magazine and you should get a lead there. good luck

Contact your local social services.... they might be able to help you...that was how I got my job babysitting for low income families on the aspire program. It might be different state to state, but I am sure they will probably be able to steer you in the right direction. Good Luck.

If you work at that school, you can probably take classes for free.  I know the schools I have worked at let full time employees and sometimes the spouses and children take classes at no charge.  Review your employee handbook or look online at your human resources page because you probably can go for free!  Isn't that great news?  Whoo-hoo, I'm jealous!

Why not make some posters and put them up in neighborhood preschools.  Have your parents take you to the job.  Just use a first name and home phone.  Take the red cross babysitting certification course.

Tell them the truth . Then tell them that since you have no experience that they can train you the way they want to and that's the way you'll do it because you don't know any other way !

Take a chilcare class or two and watch a few children in your home.  Then you can turn it into a daycare.  Also, look into becoming a nanny.

I'm getting my degree in that as well....You can work anywhere where there are kids...Day care, churches, private buisness(if you don't want to work for anyone else and earn your own money) But you will need to be certified for that...You can also work for schools as well...Your course should have everything explained in it when you signed up, or when you finished it, or you can give them a call and ask them about it....Call around your local business and see who's hiring and get your career started

A few years ago i paid for classes... Instead of taking classes go to borders buy the books and buy a few onld pc's you can network together.. It will be much cheaper and get the same thing out of it.. all the do in the classes is read out of the books

You sound as though you need help.  Do you have a teacher you can confide in?  Perhaps Child Services can help also.

With the ages you have there is no real need to spend a ton of money on curriculum.  Of course you can, there is nothing wrong with it, but you don't have to.  Find and attend book fairs where you can look through all the different books to find the ones that fit for you.  Most of us do not use only one company for all our books.  Right now my oldest is going into 4th I also have a 1st grader and kindergartner.  We use a lot of little books from Walmart, Target, Dollar General just cheap books for their age range.  Saves a lot of money.  Google subjects and topics you want them to study also, there are a lot of great free resources on-line including lesson plans and worksheets.  Don't stress, homeschooling is fun so let it be!  Another great idea for children of different ages are Unit studies.  Just adjust the difficulty for the age.  Ex.  Learn about birds.  Watch birds, track their eating habits, color, bird calls (Science) graph the number of each type of bird you see (math) draw/paint/color birds (art) go to the library and get books on different birds (reading) write an essay (Language arts).

One method that takes a bit of time but worked for a friend is volunteering to teach at a local youth club, ie...YMCA, Boys and Girls Club or even a local gym.  Keep it small one or two nights a week.  You'll get a few that get hooked on it that will want to continue more than the basics you're teaching there.

Learning exchange or other local adult learning centers in your area. these places offer all kinds of different classes, contact them and tell them your idea for a class and if they think people will attend then they will let you put on the class and give you a cut of the profit, depending on how many people attend.
