Child care providers play a crucial role in the well-being and development of young children. Ensuring the safety and health of the children under their care is of utmost importance. To achieve this, child care providers must undergo specific training programs designed to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain a safe and #healthy environment for children. In this article, we'll explore some of the essential #health-and-safety training programs for child care providers.
- Medication Administration Training (MAT): Medication administration is a critical responsibility for child care providers, especially when dealing with children who require regular medication. MAT training is designed to educate providers about the risks and benefits of administering medication to children, as well as the proper procedures for doing so safely and effectively. This training ensures that providers can accurately and consistently document medication administration, reducing the potential for errors and safeguarding the health of the children in their care.
- First Aid & CPR AED: Accidents and medical emergencies can happen at any time, and child care providers must be prepared to respond swiftly and effectively. First Aid & CPR AED certification is a fundamental requirement for childcare professionals. This training not only equips providers with the necessary skills to address injuries and medical incidents but also ensures they meet OSHA requirements, which are essential for maintaining a safe work environment. Whether it's a minor scrape or a life-threatening situation, this training enables child care providers to act confidently and save lives.
- Basic Health & Safety and Breastfeeding Awareness: Meeting state and federal requirements is vital for child care providers. The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) mandates that all child care providers successfully complete a basic health and safety training. In Maryland, this requirement extends to all staff, substitutes, and adults responsible for the care and safety of children in a licensed child care program. This comprehensive training ensures providers are well-versed in maintaining the health and safety standards necessary to comply with state and federal regulations.
Childcare providers are entrusted with a great responsibility—nurturing, educating, and safeguarding the youngest members of our society. To excel in this role, they require specialized training and knowledge. ChildCareEd recognizes this and offers a suite of essential training programs designed to empower childcare providers with the skills and expertise needed to provide top-notch care.
Administering medication to children in childcare centers and family child care homes is a task that requires precision and knowledge. ChildCareEd's state-approved 6-Hour Medication Administration Training equips childcare providers with the skills necessary to carry out this responsibility safely. This training is not only essential for the well-being of the children but also aligns with educational and accreditation standards, including the NAEYC program accreditation standards.
Key areas covered in this training include:
- Practices and procedures for administering both over-the-counter and prescription medications.
- Adherence to state child care licensing requirements.
- Instruction provided by qualified health professionals.
- A comprehensive Medication Administration handbook provided in class.
Upon completion of this training, childcare providers gain the competence to ensure that children receive the medications they need in a secure and accurate manner.
Accidents and emergencies can happen at any time, making First Aid and CPR skills indispensable for childcare providers. ChildCareEd offers a First Aid & CPR Blended Learning program that combines online learning with an in-person skills session. This format ensures that childcare providers not only acquire theoretical knowledge but also receive practical, hands-on training.

Upon successful completion of this course, childcare providers receive a 2-year HSI First Aid & CPR AED certification card. This certification demonstrates their competency in providing first aid, CPR, and using an AED effectively in #emergency situations.
