Reviews for this Online Course
- thank you! Posted by Emily on 15th Jan 2015
I liked the fact that they include things that should be common knowledge but it's a nice reminder course. - Every bit of information is important, it helps keep the mind refreshed Posted by Brittany on 10th Apr 2014
I learned that if its broken throw it away, when in doubt throw it out. If any objects are sharp or broken discard of them immediately. Fences should be around the facility especially around the play ground. Children should be supervised outside and inside at all times. Nothing with strings hanging down, like blinds, ropes, and thing a child can hang themselves with. An infants crib should be 3 feet away from a window. No toys or a lot of bedding should be placed in the infants crib while they are napping - Training was good. Posted by Lacey on 14th Feb 2014
The health and safety facts and rules will help in a classroom and outdoor setting.
