Pediatric CPR, AED & First Aid Certification | HSI Training for Texas Child Care Providers

Keep your license current and your kids safer with HSI's Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid certification — the training standard trusted by day care centers, family child care homes, and after-school programs across Texas.

Texas Health and Human Services requires every caregiver, substitute, and assistant caregiver in a licensed child-care setting to hold current pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR training, including rescue breathing and choking response, before they can have unsupervised access to children. This course is built to meet exactly that standard.

What's covered:

• Infant and child CPR, including rescue breathing and choking relief
• AED use in a pediatric emergency
• First aid for the everyday and the urgent: cuts, burns, falls, bumps to the head, allergic reactions, and more
• Recognizing signs of a medical emergency and knowing when to call 911
• Hands-on skills practice using realistic scenarios your staff will actually encounter in a classroom or playground setting

Why day care directors choose HSI:

• Nationally recognized, licensing-accepted certification — documentation you can keep on file for HHSC inspections
• 2-year certification, so your staff's cards stay valid through most licensing renewal cycles
• Flexible formats — blended with skills-check sessions to fit around staffing schedules and center hours
• Built for the child care setting, not adapted from a general workplace course — the scenarios, ratios of caregivers to children, and equipment reflect a real classroom

Whether you're onboarding new staff, renewing certifications center-wide, or preparing for an upcoming licensing inspection, this course gives your team the skills and paperwork to stay compliant and confident when it matters most.
