It’s so hard to think about going back to school when we’re lounging by the pool and the days are still long. The summer moves too fast! But the time is quickly approaching when the little ones will be heading back out to school and to all of their after-school activities as well. And for those of us who teach, coach, and care for children, it’s time for us to begin to prepare for another year.
Walk down the halls of any place where children are together and you will see smiling, laughing children excited about whatever happens to capture their attention at the moment. We all love to see them happy and engaged, don’t we? Most of the time facilities filled with children are happy, colorful, lively places. We all want to think about our own children, as well as those children in our care, being safe and healthy at all times but no matter how careful we are, sometimes accidents happen. Occasionally a hidden health issue will appear out of nowhere. This is why we need to be prepared to take swift and skillful action.
Do you work with children? Are you in charge of running a preschool, daycare center, after-school program, church youth program, dance studio, youth sports, or any other kind of program where there are many children present? Are your staff or volunteers CPR certified?
Honestly, it’s really fairly rare that you would encounter a situation where you would have to perform CPR on a child. But consider how many adults visit your center or program on a daily basis: your staff, parents and grandparents dropping off and picking up children, truck drivers delivering food and supplies and any other special visitors that you may encounter. CPR classes will help you and your staff to be prepared should anyone at your facility need emergency care.
Having your staff certified in CPR is just one more way that you can assure parents that you are well equipped to take care of the precious children entrusted to your care. We are an American Heart Association training facility. We bring the CPR training in NJ to your facility at your convenience. We will tailor training to your specific needs.
