ChildCare Education Institute Launches HLTH114: Building and Physical Premises Safety: Outdoor Environments

ATLANTA, GA, April 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ChildCare Education Institute® (CCEI), one of the largest online training providers dedicated exclusively to the early care and education workforce, is pleased to introduce its newest course, HLTH114: Building and Physical Premises Safety: Outdoor Environments.

HLTH114 identifies common outdoor injuries and appropriate ways to prevent them. Students will learn about the various components of playground safety and hazards and the steps that must be taken to prevent accidental poisoning. Upon completing this course, students should be able to identify common outdoor-related injuries to children and describe appropriate ways to avoid these injuries, list the four necessary components of playground safety, identify playground problems and potential hazards and identify the ways children may be exposed to poisons.

“Outdoor play plays a crucial role in early childhood development, but it can also be unsafe,” says Leslie Coleman, Education Director for CCEI.  “As a caregiver, it is important to be aware of the dangers children face outside, so you can work to minimize the risks.”

Since its founding in 2005, CCEI has launched more than 500 online childcare training courses to meet state licensure and Head Start requirements, as well as online certificate programs for nationally recognized credentials, including the Child Development Associate (CDA).
