Yes, here in America you have to have an Early Childhood Certificate to work in the centers. Difference here is, you can start the job with the knowledge that you WILL have to get the certificate soon after starting...... scratchead

Gin, I don't know why but your post brought an image to my brain; Barney singing AND picking strings on Paw Ingall's violin. Scary!! cryB

Fife wouldn't want to babysit. Most of the kids probably outweigh him. ECE licence? 185146

There are different guidelines here. You can be an assistant without any type of certification, but by the year 2013, you have to have a CDA (Child Development Accreditation) to work in a child care facility. Right now you just have to have a high school diploma to work as an assistant. Then there are different levels of requirements for Lead Teachers or other childcare workers. Such as a teacher who works with infants or toddlers has to have at least 3 college credits in an infant and toddler class. Other positions you have to have either an Early Childhood degree, or so many college credit hours along with so many hours of experience working in the field. These are state of Michigan guidelines. It varies state to state here. I just earned my associates in Early Childhood last May and they drilled this stuff into our head. grinsmiley
