To clarify that pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR training must be completed before child care staff can care for children unsupervised. To inform child care providers the Early Childhood Education Professional Development Organizations (ECE PDOs) role for providing access to free , Pennsylvania Quality Assurance System (PQAS) approved , Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR training.  \nThe following documents are included in this announcement:  \n• Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR Free Training Flyer  \nBACKGROUND  \nThe reauthorized Child Care Development Block Grant Fund requires all staff in licensed child care programs to be certified in Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR. Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR is a required health and safety training topic that must be completed before a child care staff can care for children unsupervised , which means a child care staff must be supervised at all times by a qualified child care staff. As such, changes have been made to the following DHS child care regulations: 55 Pa.  \nCode §3270, §3280, and §3290 which now require all staff persons to complete professional development in Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR within 90 days of hire and renew their certification in Pediatric First Aid and CPR on /or before the expiration of the most current certification (55 Pa.§ 3270.31, §3280 .31, §3290 .31) . In addition, the Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR training must be conducted by an approved Pennsylvania Quality Assurance System (PQAS ) Instructor using an OCDEL recognized curriculum (see Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR Courses table below) for compliance with certification regulations. Once the PQAS curriculum is approved , then PQAS trainers and/or organizations will be a “Specialty Discipline” in the PD Registry, which means they can only train on that PQAS curriculum in Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR. Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR certification must be renewed according to the timing of the approved Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR model.  \nTo address the need for child care providers to comply with health and safety training certification regulations (55 Pa. Code §3270 .31, §3280.31 and §3290 .31), ECE PDOs will provide access to free Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR training based on the expiration of the program’s current Certificate of Compliance. ECE PDOs are contracted to support credentialing and Career Pathway advancement. Obtaining Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR certification is a required first step in an early childhood education professional’s Career Pathway and is required to maintain employability.  \nDISCUSSION  \nThe Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR training will be provided by approved instructors who are also approved PQAS trainers for this content. The Regional ECEPDOs are responsible for confirming each instructor is approved in the PD Registry , offers an approved curriculum for Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR , and offera training card or certificate that lists, at mini","cbCaieMMQUrjHxjg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieMMQUrjHxjg","pdf",332021,"English","# Purpose\n# Background\n# Discussion\n## Approved training delivery and curriculum\n## Training card/certificate acceptance\n## Online-only course limitations\n## Provisional course option","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Announcement C-22-01?\",\"answer\":\"It clarifies updated CCDBG federal guidance on required pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR training, including when training must be completed and how ECEPDOs provide access to free, PQAS-approved training.\"},{\"question\":\"When must pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR training be completed?\",\"answer\":\"The training must be completed before child care staff can care for children unsupervised, meaning staff must be supervised at all times by a qualified child care staff member.\"},{\"question\":\"Are online-only pediatric first aid/CPR courses accepted for compliance?\",\"answer\":\"No, an “online-only” course titled “Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR” that lacks a hands-on component will no longer be accepted for compliance, with limited grandfathering for staff completed before September 30, 2021.\"}]","ANNOUNCEMENT C-22-01 - Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training Requirements | PDF",1791047909,18]
