Job Options In Daycare
Author : Marianne Conway
Working in daycare can be extremely challenging, but it is also one of the most rewarding things you can do. Jobs in this field require a clear criminal background history, lots of energy, a love of children and a positive attitude. And whether you have a college degree, a high school diploma or a GED, there is a job in this industry that could work for you. To get a better idea about which category of daycare jobs you should target, take a look at the three most common job categories below.
-Daycare Center Directors
These professionals manage daycare centers. They need experience, not only with children, but also with directing staff and maintaining excellent relationships with parents. This type of position typically requires a college degree, usually with some coursework in early childhood education. Many centers also require CDA (Childhood Development Authority) certification and certification in first aid and CPR. Some states require additional training or certification.
-Daycare Center Workers
This is the most versatile job category, because, these individuals spend their days caring for children. They supervise play time, lead activities, monitor snacks and do all the work involved in keeping a group of young children safe and happy. These types of jobs typically require a high school diploma or GED. Experience working with children is desirable, but a positive attitude and trustworthiness are essential. Some employers will want employees to work toward CDA certification, and being certified in first aid and CPR is desirable.
-Nursery School and Preschool Teachers
These individuals usually work with children between 3 and 5 years of age. They work on socialization, prekindergarten readiness, and building speech and other cognitive skills. These jobs often require a bachelor’s or associate’s degree, typically in early childhood education and first aid and CPR certification. Many also require CDA credentials, and some states have additional certification or educational requirements.
Jobs in daycare are often plentiful, as more parents hold down demanding full time jobs. These parents want safe and loving care for their children, and daycare centers want to provide it. To that end, they need dedicated, trustworthy employees in all job categories. Whatever job category suits your career goals and education level, if you have a good sense of humor, a love of children and unflagging energy, you will find daycare to be personally and professionally fulfilling field.
