* Licensing depends on the type of preschool: Preschools that are part of public school systems (like Head Start programs integrated with the school) will likely require state licensing and potentially teacher licensure. Private preschools and daycare centers have different regulations.
* Specific requirements for private preschools: Private preschools are regulated by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration's Division of Child Care. They require specific permits and compliance with health and safety regulations, but they *don't always* mandate a teaching license for all staff. The specific requirements depend on factors like the number of children enrolled and the age range served. A bachelor's degree in early childhood development might satisfy some of their requirements, but it's not a guarantee of avoiding further qualifications.
In short, while a teaching license isn't universally required for preschool teachers in Indiana with an early childhood degree, you must research the licensing and permitting requirements for the *specific* preschool where you intend to work. Contact the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration's Division of Child Care for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
