The short answer

Megan H., RN, brings hands-on CPR and First Aid training to your daycare, preschool, or childcare center anywhere in the Charlotte metro, on both sides of the state line. She can train your staff during nap time, after closing, or on weekends.

North Carolina requirements (Charlotte, Matthews, Pineville, Huntersville and other NC centers)

The rule: under 10A NCAC 09 .1102, the NC Division of Child Development and Early Education requires staff who provide direct care to complete First Aid and CPR certification appropriate to the ages of the children in care. At least one CPR-trained staff member must be present whenever children are in care.
Blended courses: DCDEE allows blended courses (face-to-face plus virtual) from an approved organization, as long as the instructor evaluates each student’s competency. Pre-recorded or self-paced distance learning isn’t allowed for CPR.
Course cards: must reflect successful completion and show the optional modules, such as Child & Infant CPR.

South Carolina requirements (Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Indian Land, Tega Cay, Lancaster centers)

The regulation: S.C. Code Regs. 114-503 requires at least one staff member certified in pediatric first aid, including rescue breathing, CPR, and blocked-airway management. That person must be present whenever children are in care and on outings or field trips.
Recommendation: SC also recommends a CPR-certified teacher in each infant and toddler classroom at all times.
Training hours: CPR/First Aid doesn’t count toward the annual training hours for direct-care staff.
