First Aid

PEDIATRIC FIRST AID & CPR

Current First Aid and CPR cards are required for all individuals working in licensed programs. The Nurturing Center offers this course through the American Heart Association as a hybrid. Individuals will take the online course work and register for a skills session through The Nurturing Center front desk. You must complete both parts of the course to receive your completion certificate (your Pediatric/Adult CPR/FA card). You will need to complete the Pediatric CPR/FA online course, including ALL optional modules (adult CPR/AED) and then bring the completion form to their skills test. Once both components have been completed, instructors will assign the accepted card to the participant.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Emergency preparedness continues to be in the news related to COVID-19 and winter storms across Montana.  Coordinating child care in times of natural disasters is one of the responsibilities of the Nurturing Center and all R&R’s across the State. Make the Nurturing Center one of your first calls if your program is impacted by an emergency event!
