Three child care providers on Tinian were trained last May 14, 2022, on how to respond to and manage illnesses and injuries in a young child or infant in their facilities or home.
The training, called “Pediatric CPR and First Aid,” was done at the new Child Care and Development Fund Program Tinian Office at Paradise Real Estate in San Jose.
The training was facilitated by Maureen Sebangiol, an American Heart Association CPR instructor and registered respiratory therapy educator.
The training was 5.5 hours long and included an audio-visual presentation from the American Heart Association, demonstrations by the instructor, and hands-on activities by the attendees.
This training is a requirement under the CCDF Program, and all providers are expected to take and complete this training as part of the condition to receive CCDF funds. All new CCDF providers within 90 days of approval must complete this training, as well as 11 other health and safety topics. Annually, all CCDF license exempt providers also must complete 15 hours of ongoing health and safety training. (PR)
