ANDI’s Answer

There are different statutes and requirements by state and facility. Most daycares will employ you at 16 for afterschool parttime work, and post-graduation for full day shifts, as assistant teachers. Most lead teachers have a high school diploma, associate's degree, or bachelor's degree.
Usually CPR and child development courses are required, and follow-on certification credentials are usually provided by the facility, sometimes on "teacher work days".
Further education would include Early Childhood Development, Early Childhood Education, Child Psychology, and the like, if you prefer to further your career choices.
More interest in the medical side, as far as pediatrics, would include much more schooling, including possibly beginning with a bachelor's in biology or similar, and then moving into medical school, though pediatric nursing would be a shorter track as well.
SHORT ANSWER: NONE, IF YOU WANT A BASE-LEVEL, ENTRY CHILDCARE POSITION.
