Ohio you must have a HS diploma or GED, and 12 hours training (1st aid, child abuse recog. and communicable disease recognition) to be a 'state qualified trained teacher'. of course, anyone with a GED and no training can step into a baby room (or other class) and be called a teacher. parents think 'state qualified' means trained, like the regualr school teachers. right. for near minumum wage? you get a body for the day, and if you are lucky your child gets a caring provider for the whole day. usually a baby will have three to five caregivers through a 10 hr day. to many transitions, too many new faces, babies need to be at home with mom (or dad) for the first couple of years, not in day care centers.
