what would i need to do to work at a preschool/day care in Georgia?

Margy Sandquist: Here's link to Georgia's preschool licensing web site. Should give you all you are asking and more:http://www.daycare.com/georgia/ It looks to me like you are highly qualified as far as your credentials go, but you shouldn't let that stop you from building on your own education! Go on for your bachelors once you get a job there and feel comfortable enough at it to go to school part time on the side.

You may be able to start work in Georgia, with a emergency! permit, but you will need one for the state you are working in. the ratios are done by liscensing and remember if you go over ratio you are out of compliance, many will work with two many children then you have an accident if goes aganist you.
