Virtually all states have requirements regarding infant and child (pediatric) CPR certification for caregivers. Make sure you follow your state’s specific regulations. CDA candidates also need a current CPR and first-aid certificate to obtain or renew their credential.
So, how do I become infant and child (Pediatric) CPR certified? You will need hands-on training to learn the steps of pediatric CPR. The following sources provide pediatric CPR training:
The American Heart Association
American Red Cross
National Security Council
All adults who care for children should be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first-aid, and injury prevention. You should take a course in CPR and first-aid from a certified instructor before taking responsibility for the care of a child. Be prepared to act quickly, calmly, and appropriately in emergency situations.
