No, this is called home schooling.

No you don't. Licensing will have classes that you have to take.

Answer 3

Here is the information to the Child Care Licensing Regulations.

This also lists the telephone number to that office so you can ask specific questions about the processes in CA

Good Luck!

Answer 4

No, but some Child Development classes would help you better handle strangers' kids.

Answer 5

not a degree but you do need a license to do that sort of thing. I don't know the rules in CA though - I live in OH and our family daycare providers need to be licensed through the state. They are required to take so many classes per year as well as be certified in CPR, First Aid, Communicable Diseases and Child Abuse.
