The CPR and Baby Safety Class is ideal for new parents, grandparents, babysitters, and anyone interested in learning the basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, choking interventions, baby-proofing your house, and other preventative safety practices to follow with an infant or toddler.

Throughout this class, you will learn how to assess for and detect a cardiac emergency in an adult, a child, and an infant, the steps needed to get emergency help on the way, and how to perform lifesaving treatment until emergency services arrive. In addition to this, you will learn many first aid skills, including how to relieve a choking victim, how to respond in an allergic reaction or poison emergency, and what to do if someone experiences a seizure or severe burn.

Once all class skills are complete, you will receive an American Heart Association CPR/First Aid certification.
