Course Information

Protecting the well-being of children should be the first priority of any child care program, and one that cannot be taken lightly. Because children are children, injuries cannot always be prevented; however, providing a safe environment along with careful supervision greatly decreases the likelihood of a child becoming injured while in your care.

This 2-hour online course addresses best practices in basic first aid in child care settings.

This course was developed and produced by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service of the Texas A&M University System in cooperation with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Child Care Licensing Division, and using funds provided by the Texas Workforce Commission.
