Exigences en RCR et secourisme pour les garderies
Formation RCR et Secourisme Rhode Island
Si vous travaillez dans le domaine de la petite enfance au Rhode Island — que ce soit en garderie, en prématernelle, en milieu familial ou en camp — la certification en secourisme et en RCR n’est pas optionnelle. C’est une exigence de permis, et pour cause : les enfants sont parmi les plus vulnérables à l’étouffement, aux réactions allergiques et aux blessures. Être préparé à intervenir peut tout changer.
Ce que le Rhode Island exige
Rhode Island requires every staff member to be trained under the most recent national resuscitation guidelines in pediatric CPR and in pediatric first aid, under 218-RICR-70-00-1 for child care center licensure. Online training is not accepted for CPR, which must include an in-person, hands-on component, though online delivery is accepted for pediatric first aid. At least one staff member trained in the Heimlich maneuver for infants and toddlers must be on-site at all times, with renewal every two years, under the Department of Human Services / DCYF, Child Care Licensing.
Anaphylaxie et administration de médicaments
Under 218-RICR-70-00-1, prescription and over-the-counter medication requires written parental permission with a prescriber order and storage behind child safety locks, while infants' and toddlers' rescue medications may be kept unlocked but out of reach, and school-age children may self-carry epinephrine with documentation. This keeps a child's autoinjector reachable in an emergency, and it works best alongside an individual allergy action plan and staff trained to recognize anaphylaxis and act immediately.
