No, but it's better if you have a college degree/diploma in child care and early childhood development. ----------- USA. About 45 percent of all child day care workers have a high school degree or less, reflecting the minimal training requirements for most jobs. Job openings should be numerous because dissatisfaction with benefits, pay, and stressful working conditions causes many to leave the industry. http://www.bls.gov/oco/cg/cgs032.htm http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos170.htm http://www.bls.gov/oco/cg/cgs032.htm#related Canada "One issue child care workers face is obtaining further education without clear incentives from the field" http://www.cccf-fcsge.ca/practice/professional%20development/online_en.html ECS Alberta - http://www.mhc.ab.ca/Programs/info.php?program=19 http://www23.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/2001/e/groups/4214.shtml http://www.fanshawec.on.ca/programs/20067/cyw1.asp

It depends on what state you live in. Contact a local day care and they will be able to tell you what is the law in your state.

The training and qualifications required of child care workers vary widely. Each State has its own licensing requirements that regulate caregiver training. These requirements range from a high school diploma, a national Child Development Associate (CDA) credential to community college courses or a college degree in child development or early childhood education. State requirements are generally higher for workers at child care centers than for family child care providers. http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos170.htm
