I’m really interested in starting a career in childcare/daycare, but I’m not totally sure where to begin.

I’ve graduated high school but haven’t gone to college yet, and I’m wondering what qualifications I’d need here in NM to get started. Do I need certifications first (like CPR, childcare training, etc.), or can I apply to entry-level daycare jobs and get trained on the job?

I’d also love to know if there are any specific programs, classes, or even good places to apply locally(Albuquerque/Rio Rancho) that you’d recommend.
