The course covers feeding, diapering, picking up and holding children, safety and emergency response. Participants receive a certificate of completion.

For ages 12-16. The course includes two 15-minute breaks, plus 30 minutes for lunch. Snacks will be provided, but please bring you own lunch. Participants should wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, as some skills practice takes place on the floor.
