 Child Care Training Manual
This training manual was developed to provide up-to-date information regarding research in SIDS and the best practices for reducing the risk of SIDS in the child care setting. The target audiences for the Training Manual are:
- Health and safety trainers of front-line child care providers
- Persons who train the trainers of front-line child care providers
- Individuals from Healthy Child Care America (HCCA) and Healthy Start Programs, Head Start and Title V programs
- Individuals from child care resource and referral agencies
- Individuals from child care regulatory and monitoring agencies
- Child care health consultants
This is a great tool for both “Train the Trainer” workshops as well as workshops to educate child care providers about SIDS, with emphasis on the following areas:
- Reducing the Risk
- Safe Sleep Practices
- Handling the Crisis
- Bereavement and Grief
The format allows trainers flexibility regarding the time they have to present the materials and the funds available to them in producing materials to distribute. There is a PowerPoint presentation, handouts, and transparencies (overheads). As much as possible, we have included information and resources that are relevant. There is a breakdown of budget costs for reproducing the manual for workshops in the Training Prep segment.
We hope this Training Manual will be an invaluable tool for trainers and we appreciate any feedback regarding the materials. An evaluation form for the manual has been included in the front pocket with a self-addressed envelope.
For more information on the Healthy Child Care America Back Sleep Campaign or to receive a copy of the training manual, please contact Hanan Kallash at hanan.kallash@firstcandle.org or 410.415.6628. In order that we are able to cover the costs of reproducing this extensive manual, a $50 fee will be charged.
