Students will learn indoor, outdoor, online and personal safety skills; child development and childcare routines, including diapering practice; behavior management and injury prevention and management; choking rescue practices and CPR; as well as the business of babysitting.

The course is from 8 am to 2:30 pm and meets in the Bothwell Education Center at 600 E. 14th Street, and cost is $45. Due to space limitations, the deadline to register and pay is April 30. Payment is required to hold a student’s place in the class.
