Earlier this month, our Literacy Volunteers students gained critical skills in pediatric CPR through Heartsaver training, led by Family Centers' Nurse Consultant Nathalie Tocci. This course, approved for child care workers nationwide, teaches participants how to respond swiftly to child or infant emergencies until help arrives. Many of our students are also pursuing their Child Development Associate certification, preparing for bright futures in early childhood education.🌟Interested in becoming a certified preschool professional or joining our English Language classes? Contact Andrea Byrne at 203-517-1603 for more details. A big congratulations to our newly CPR-certified students!
