Those are very different and very difficult to do (like the other poster said).
For pre-med, you'd take a lot of science courses. Biology or Chemistry, or a Bio-Chem major would be the norm.
Day care is not as strict (and doesn't pay nearly as much). Something like education minor. Child psychology, sociology, early childhood development. Business would be really important too--perhaps a business minor.
My college offered a daycare on campus and anyone in a "child" major was encouraged to sign up to work at the faculty daycare. It will definitely help you decide if you really want to work in a day care.
I'd take a couple classes in each of those fields before you decide if you'd rather own a daycare or be a doctor.

Well usually each college has a set of requirements for every major but since you want to be a doctor you have to major in something in the sciences (physical or biological). I would suggest majoring in Biology and from there you can pick the college of your choice and see what classes you need to fullfill that major. Don't forget that there is always tutoring so if you find that there is a program that offers it for FREE go for it!

Do you mean pediatrician? as in a child's doctor? Anyway for undergrad I would recommend majoring in early childhood development and business (which would mean you would have to double major in two completely un-related fields It would be difficult, but you could do it). Then you would have to go on to pre-med (med school) which includes several years in schooling, followed by residency work, fellowship/specialty (pediatrics) it would be a lot of work and a lot of school, but with the ambition and motivation you could do it. Good luck!

It depends on what work fields you are looking at. No matter what fields you are going into it always pays off to have science and math related classes, psychology classes are also a big payoff because the psychology field is demanding more and more people every year.

In college you will take whatever classes are required for your major. A pediatrician would be a pre-med major.

All i'm going to say is you might want to learn to spell your career before you decide on one.
