You need to check with the local childcare licensing department for their regulations.  However, most, if not all states require that anyone directly taking care of children in a childcare setting must be at least 18 years old.

You'll have to start by working with Child Care Services. To start, you have to purchase a licensing packet and attend a free orientation class (pre-registration required). These are held monthly. Once you get all that done, then you can start working through the packet. Depending on what kind of day care center you want to provide (group day care, family day care, or child care learning center), click on the "Rules and Regulations" link on the left side of the page via the link below. \n\nGood luck!

You can have a campaign saying "Train to work at home", as they could open their own daycare at home after they get certified.  You should put emphasis on "Home Based Business" when you start the promotion.

i don't know about in utah, but at 14 i worked at a daycare.  It usually has to be a place where you know the owner at that age and you will be paid under the counter in cash due to child-labor laws.  I would say try talking to friends' parents about different things they could have you do at places they work.

Do you want to be a childcare "teacher" in a day care program or a "pre-k teacher" in a more structured educational program?  To work in a day care you need a high school diploma, first aid, and other continuing education credits (some will ask for an associate's degree) but not necessarily college.  \nTo teach "pre-k" in a more structured program you will need a college degree.  In many states it is now a teacher certification area requiring state licensure and qualifies you to teach in programs like head start, pre-k, kindergarten, etc. \nLook at colleges with "early childhood education" programs.  They are usually part of the education school/ department.

Generally 14 yrs old is a trustworthy age and if you have followed a babysitting course you may be more qualified and able to care or watch over your siblings!

Go to the website for ODJFS (Ohio Department of Job and Family Services). They will either have information there for you or you can download the rules for daycare providers and the first section of those rules (if I'm remembering correctly) will tell you what steps to take and what requirements you have to meet. Good luck!

Go to DFAX [Family & Children Services] in Atlanta and request a list of the private home daycares and day care centers in the area you are interested in. \n\nYou didn't say for what you want the info - so I am assuming you are looking to start one yourself? If so - DFAX will have a lot of info for you, including the requirements you will need to meet in order to qualify to operate one. \n\nMake some phone calls [classifieds + DFAX list] and visit some day care providers to see what works for them and what does not. I can give you more hints if you are looking to run one yourself - simply contact me privately as I don't want to bore you with info if its not needed.\n\nIf you are writing an article or doing some bona fide research - start making phone calls, but be honest enough to tell the providers what you are doing and why you are calling them. DayCare Homes have certain busy busy times - when chitchatting on the phone is a nono - and some down times when they will have time to talk. Be sure to ask if it is convenient or if you may call back.
