The Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) is seeking to identify community-based and educational entities statewide currently delivering Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR training for potential partnership opportunities.

OCDEL has created a brief survey to capture information from interested community-based and educational entities. The intent is to, at a minimum, develop and promulgate county specific entities child care providers can connect with to enroll in the approved training.

In January, OCDEL announced that due to updated guidance on the federal requirements for Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG), all staff at child care programs must complete in-person pediatric first aid and pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training within 90 days of hire or renew their certification before expiration. Until they do so, they can’t care for children unsupervised.

interested community-based and educational entities must complete the survey by March 31, 2022.
