Action | Amend Standards for Licensed Child Day Centers to Address Federal Health and Safety Requirements |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/6/2018 |
As stated in the CCDBG guidelines all staff shall be “trained” not “certified” in CPR & F/A. We support 100% of staff to be “trained” and for 50% to be certified. This allows one teacher to perform CPR and/or FA and the other teacher to care for the children. We also need a 90 day, not a 30 day, grace period for new staff requiring certification. Even with these requested changes, this is a significant improvement over the current requirement of one staff to be CPR/FA certified.
