what type of training is usually required to be a child care worker
A child care worker needs to have a minimum of high school diploma or a certificate equivalent to high school. It is necessary for an individual aspiring to work as a child care worker to receive some vocational training or pursue a course that would be related to the job. There are also few community college courses that an individual aspiring to work as a child care worker can pursue.
The BLS reports that Head Start programs require workers to pursue an associate's degree or credential in a childcare field. Community colleges often offer associate's degree programs in child development and early education. Courses of study may include child psychology, first aid, sociology, safety and nutrition.
