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 three staff files revealed that one staff, with a hire date of November 28, 2023, was not certified in CPR and first aid within 90 days of their first date of employment in the program. Corrective action: I have registered the staff member that was not certified in CPR and First Aid for a class. This staff member will go on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at The Applewood Learning Center in Londonderry, NH. She will receive her full certification in first aid and cpr. This staff member will not work again until they have completed the certification. Going forward, all staff, including new hires and subs, will receive a checklist of all required trainings and forms needed to complete within 90 days of hire. I will help each staff member find a class to achieve their certification. All staff will complete recertification together, every 24 months.
