Question

What are the qualifications for a daycare director?

Answer 1

It really depends on the owners of the daycare itself. The director I worked for had around 10 years experience working as a teacher, and was asked to take the position. Some places would much rather have someone with a degree of some kind, probably business, PR, marketing, etc.

Normally it's a long line of experience AND a degree of some kind.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

Daycare, not preschool, just needs a 40 hour course, some require first aid and cpr courses.  A helper does not need any qualifications.

***Sorry*** I see now you said Director, not instructor. IDK>

Answer 3

depends on the state and if the center is NAEYC accredited...some states let anyone run a childcare center, while others require at least a BA
