The center director, site director, family child care provider, and all staff used to meet staff to child ratios shall: (1) Be certified in pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid within 90 days of the first date of employment; (2) Obtain certification in (m)(1) above by the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, Emergency Care and Safety Institute, National Safety Council, or other nationally recognized organization; and (3) Maintain current certifications required in (m)(1) above.
The licensing coordinator's review of one staff file revealed that one staff did not complete the skill test required for certification in CPR and First Aid. Corrective action: On Monday April 22, 2024 I attended an in person child/infant/adult CPR and First Aid recertification class. I received my certificate in the mail on Saturday 4/27/24. Moving forward I will continue to complete my recertification with an in person instructor prior to expiration date of 4/22/26.
