CPR and First Aid is the course that complies with California state regulations for child care providers. First Aid teaches injury prevention and how to respond to emergencies and accidents. This class covers birth through adulthood, although the focus is on the pediatric ages served in child care programs. This certification is for two years.

This class is offered virtually for the first 6 hours. The last 2 hours will be required to complete in-person in small groups at the Bananas parking lot. Appointments will be made for the Saturday following the class.

CPR / First Aid is NOT a preventive health class. CPR / First Aid must be taken every two years to be licensed. You must attend all training sessions listed below to be certified.

The June 2021 BANANAS Directors’ Roundtable will focus on planning as we look back to reflect on what’s worked in the past and look ahead to what’s needed! Let’s use this time to identify key topics and interest areas to support your work during the 2021-2022 program year. At this meeting, you’ll be asked to give feedback about the impact from past roundtable meetings, reflect on what’s working with our meeting structure, and more importantly, identify ways the BANANAS Directors’ Roundtable can grow and/or change to support your work as ECE leaders and managers. We will be collecting and reviewing data to help inform our path forward and encourage you to use data to make the best-informed decisions for your program’s needs.

La clase se ofrecerá de forma remota a través de Zoom. Esté atento a los correos electrónicos con documentos importantes que debe completar y un enlace de Zoom para registrarse.
