What do I need to do to get Certification I and II for working in childcare...?

And where do I go to get started on this?

I have over two years experience as a nanny, as well as many years as a babysitter, but I am thinking of working in a childcare center. Most I have come across require Certification I and II, and some require first aid/cpr (which I know I can get recertified through Red Cross).

I can't find a site that talks about the required certifications, though. Any help appreciated!
