When you work in childcare, every day brings something new — adorable giggles, messy art projects, unexpected snack requests… and sometimes, emergencies you never saw coming.
Whether it’s a power outage, medical incident, severe #weather, or something more serious, being prepared can make all the difference. That’s why #emergency and disaster #preparedness isn’t just important — it’s required in many states for childcare professionals.
At ChildCareEd.com, we offer essential training courses that help you stay one step ahead, so you can protect the little ones in your care with confidence.
