ACPC has switched to a program offered by the American Heart Association called Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid. The Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid Course contains information on how to manage illness and injuries in a child in the first few minutes until professional help arrives. Topics include First Aid Basics, Medical Emergencies, Environmental Emergencies, Adult and Infant CPR. This course was designed to meet regulations for day care centers in all 50 states. It is a 4 hour course that includes First Aid and CPR, and will be the same whether you are obtaining your initial certification or renewing your certification. The certification does have to be renewed every 2 years. We will offer this course at the ACPC office or it can be an on-site training at the child care center. To request the training on-site, the center must have 6 participants. Space is limited in every class so call early to register.
