Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies or disasters can happen at any time. How prepared is your child care program to respond? Families trust child care providers for the safety and well-being of their children while they are in your care. During emergencies of all types and sizes, children rely on the adults caring for them.

Your ability to quickly respond and recover from emergencies such as fires, power outages and threats of violence depends on how prepared you are. Join us for one of our many professional development trainings. Topics include CA Preventive Health & Safety, Child Care Disaster Preparedness, Emergency Preparedness Hacks, and so much more! Click here for a complete schedule.
