Childcare & Daycare
Hands-on, nationally recognized CPR, AED, and First Aid certification designed specifically for childcare professionals throughout Central Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.
Childcare providers are entrusted with the safety of infants and children every single day. CPR Safety 411 delivers practical, hands-on training designed specifically for daycare centers, preschool staff, after-school programs, and in-home childcare providers. Our courses meet nationally recognized standards and help your team feel confident responding in real emergencies — not just passing a test.
We provide on-site training throughout Central PA and parts of Upstate NY, making it easy for your entire staff to certify together without disrupting operations.
Why CPR Training Matters in This Industry
Emergencies involving children require calm, fast, and trained action. In childcare environments, staff may need to respond to choking incidents, breathing emergencies, allergic reactions, injuries on playground equipment, or sudden medical events.
Proper CPR and First Aid training ensures:
- Staff can confidently perform infant and child CPR
- Quick recognition of breathing and cardiac emergencies
- Safe and effective AED use
- Proper response to choking in infants and children
- Immediate first aid for cuts, falls, burns, and allergic reactions
Training isn't just a requirement — it's a layer of protection for your children, staff, and organization.
Regulatory & Compliance Considerations
Many childcare licensing regulations require CPR and First Aid certification for staff members. Our courses align with nationally recognized standards and can meet common childcare licensing requirements throughout Pennsylvania.
We recommend verifying your specific state or facility requirements, and we are happy to help ensure the correct course format is selected (infant/child CPR, pediatric First Aid, AED, Bloodborne Pathogens, etc.).
