With the encouragement of the Government, people are returning to work while their young children are being cared for in either state or private daycare centres. This also means that the Government is looking to the people who are employed in child daycare centres to be better trained and have more qualifications.
This means that much of the guidance of young children is now being shared with professional childcare workers. This can bring many benefits toward enriching the lives of these children and broadening their horizons. However, it requires high stardards of dedication and training on the part of the men and women assuming these key roles. As there is a high level of responsibility being placed on the shoulders of childcare workers, strict standards and guidelines have been implemented for daycare facilities and their staff.
A number of employment opportunities exist for people with childcare qualifications including: working in nurseries, workplace crèches, as child minders, babysitting, nanny, working in family centres, playgroups, holiday playscheme workers, au pairs and many more.
The DCA Diploma in childcare will give you background knowledge and skills for working in the childcare sector but you may wish to continue your training to achieve formal childcare qualifications.
