Make sure the course you take specifically spends a lot of time on infant/child issues. Many courses gloss over this section assuming you will be dealing mostly with adults. You might do better to take a course aimed at caring for children. You don't need the AED etc in home daycare since you wouldn't have access to the machine. Also from a first aid standpoint you won't be dealing with a lot of the issues that a standard first aid course covers like dealing with a motor cycle accident you come across so again if you are training for the first time better to take a course that covers less areas so you can concentrate on exactly what you can make use of.
