Emergency Childcare First Aid

A basic one-day course designed to introduce caregivers to injury prevention skills and knowledge. The course covers lifesaving first aid skills and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR and AED) for children and babies. Course meets legislation requirements for provincial/territorial early childhood education and daycare worker safety requirements*.

Included in the Course:

CPR Mask with O2 Inlet 

Coffee/Tea,  and Morning & Afternoon Snack 

Lunch & Breaks: 

There will be access to a microwave if you need to heat your lunch. We recommend bringing lunch as we will only break for half an hour to keep the course on schedule. There will also be a morning and afternoon break.

Cheers,
