First Aid / CPR Training
One staff member with a current basic standard first aid and age appropriate CPR certificate must be present with each group of children in the center at all times.
For example, if you have six different classrooms with different groups of children, you must have a staff person in each room trained in first aid and CPR.
The person providing the first aid and CPR training must be knowledgeable about current national first aid and CPR standards.
Licensing requires that only one staff member in each group of children have a current CPR and first aid training, however best practice recommends that ALL staff have current CPR and first aid training appropriate to the ages of the children in care.
Online first aid / CPR Classes do NOT meet the requirements

HIV/AIDS and Bloodborne Pathogens Courses
Click here to register for the HIV/AIDS and Bloodborne Pathogens courses
HIV/AIDS/Bloodborne Pathogen is required for all staff (WAC 170-295-1110). The training must be taken from a certified trainer or organization and the training certificate kept in the staff file. This can be an online class, but the training must state that it covers HIV/AIDS/Bloodborne Pathogens. All staff needs to take this HIV/AIDS training only once.
Labor and Industries requires all staff to take a Bloodborne Pathogen training annually.
Staff should receive this annual training by a center staff person who has taken the HIV/AIDS/Bloodborne Pathogen certified training and who is familiar with your center’s Bloodborne Pathogen plan and practices. If a staff person takes an outside Bloodborne Pathogen class, they must still be trained on your center’s Bloodborne Pathogen plan and practices. Check with your licensor or DEL health specialist for a sample Bloodborne Pathogen plan.
Confidentiality Issues
The law does not require parents to notify the center that their child has tested HIV positive. It is against the law for the center director to pass along such information to staff members or other parents without written permission from the child's parents.
