Answer 1

There are educational requirements and they differ from state to state. In Michigan, you can have a combination of hours of experience in child care and degrees, college credits, or credentials. For instance, with a bachelor degree in child development, social work or early childhood ed., there are no hours required. But if you only have a CDA or Montessori credential, then you must have X amount of hours to be approved. You can also have a high school degree with 6 college credit hours in child development, social work or early childhood ed. The only way you can find out for sure is to go to your state's website and look it up or call whatever office  handles child care liscensing in you state.

Answer 2

You don't need any educational requirements, but patrons will want to know if you are qualified or not. I do know that you have to be inspected by the board of health though.

Answer 3

I don't believe there are any educational requirements unfortunately that is why so many people who know nothing about children open daycares and then abuse the children.

You have to get certified by the state. They will come to your home and see if you are equiped to handle a daycare. There are specific laws for each state and there has to be a certain amount of space per child ratio. You should have a fenced in yard if you are close to a road. I am not sure of all the necessities but they will tell you what you need to do or get when they come to your home. They will give you a certification number. It is illegal to have a home daycare without going through the state for a certification licence number.
