I'm currently working on a certificate in Early Childhood Education. I'm hoping this will give me a better chance at getting work in the day care world. Soon I will also get CPR certified and fingerprinted. Sometimes I do find myself wondering, "Is this enough?". If not, what would I actually have to do? I would one day like to open a daycare of my own, but I would like to gain more experience in the field. I know I eventually have to get licensed, but what does that require?

I have done both home daycare and had a licensed childcare center for 76 children. You need to check with your county and your state. The requirements vary from state to state. Some county's have no rules, others have to do water, sewer and health dept inspections. Most states require cpr and first aid, and some require college hours or a CDA and others don't. So, start with contacting your state.
You need to be licensed by your state.
