Proper CPR and First Aid training ensures:
- Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest

- Effective AED use
- Proper response to choking incidents
- First aid for playground and athletic injuries
- Calm and coordinated emergency response
Prepared staff help create safer learning and activity environments.
