- Child development.
- Basic first aid.
- Choking rescue for infants and children.
- Injury prevention.
- How to handle emergencies.
- Troubleshooting.
- Healthy hints for meals and snacks.
- Safe marketing.
Participants must register in advance and complete a short homework assignment prior to attending. Participants will receive a certificate of completion upon completing the course.
Snacks will be provided.
