SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER MEETINGS!

For September and October, we will be partnering with Child Care Resource & Referral Network for the Child Development Health and Safety Basics Training.

This training will provide participants an overview of child development, health, and safety issues for children birth through early school age. Emphasis will be on understanding patterns of development, developmental domains, and the role of nutrition in development. In addition, health and safety issues will address supporting the growth of healthy children - from the basics such as hand washing to more in-depth practices surrounding healthy procedures and disease prevention. Participants will learn more about emergency planning/preparedness and first aid as well as identify tips for maintaining safe indoor/outdoor environments.

Key topics include child
wellness, allergy prevention and response, Shaken Baby Syndrome, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Participants will also learn to identify and manage common indoor and outdoor hazards, handle hazardous materials safely, and develop emergency plans for natural and human-caused events.

This training covers the Illinois licensing training topic: Anaphylactic Shock, as referenced in Regulation Child Care Act 5.11. Completion of this training satisfies that requirement
