Description:

This training meets the NC child care rule that the child care administrator, any child care staff who will be working in the infant room (including substitutes and volunteers), family child care providers who are licensed for 12 months of age or younger be trained in a two-hour Infant/Toddler Safe Sleep and SIDS reduction in Child Care Training.

Participants will:

-Be able to explain safe sleep risks including SIDS, suffocation, strangulation, and entrapment, and how to prevent them.

-Understand the causes of SIDS and the external stressors that contribute to a safe sleep environment.

-Learn about rules and best practices related to safe sleep.

-Be able to respond to an unresponsive infant.

-Be able to identify resources for those who are experiencing grief from a SIDS death.

In this virtual format, all participants must have their cameras on for the duration of the training. Participants who are unable to meet this expectation should attend the in-person training option. Participants who are attending the training are also required to not be counted in a ratio for caring for children. Participants are also required to participate fully during the training and engage with the presenter and other participants multiple times. Presentation slides and materials in Spanish are available upon request but the training will still be held in English.
