Daycare Directors: Are You Fully Compliant with DSS & ABC Quality?
South Carolina DSS Regulation 114-503(h) states, word for word:
“(h) At least one person who is certified in pediatric first aid, including rescue breathing, CPR, and management of a blocked airway shall be present in the center at all times when children are in care, and during group outings or field trips. It is recommended that a CPR certified teacher be in each infant and toddler classroom at all times when children are in care. It is recommended that a CPR/first aid certified caregiver must always be present and immediately available when any child is eating. Training shall be provided by an individual who is certified as a trainer by a recognized health care organization.”
And if you participate in ABC Quality, 100% of your staff must hold a hands-on credential.
Note the last sentence of the rule: training must come from someone certified as a trainer by a recognized health care organization. As an American Heart Association-certified instructor, Nikole teaches the gold-standard Heartsaver® Pediatric First Aid CPR AED course — with the in-person, hands-on skills checks required to pass state inspections.
Remember: CPR hours do not count toward your 15 annual general training clock hours — let us take care of this specialized compliance requirement for you!
