Child Care First Aid
​Why this course instead of Emergency or Standard First Aid?
Emergency Child Care (8 hours, one day) is a basic course offering an overview of first and and CPR skills with a focus on childhood injuries and illnesses. The course is designed for those in the Early Childhood Education industry, as well as parents and caregivers.
