In addition to the education required for working as a manager or caregiver in a child care facility, certain states or regions may require separate licensing, which may have additional requirements than just having an education in child care. This may include a background check to determine that the licensee has no criminal history as well as other classes, or examinations, possibly including the first aid or CPR certification as well as other requirements. Check with your state or local municipality for requirements for licensing because it will differ for each area.
There may be additional certifications that are optional, but will help the prospective child care facility manager gain employment in the field, since various skills may be required to run the facility including business administration skills.
