Everyone deserves support while building a family! We are making families stronger, and happier families make stronger communities. In times of struggle families can often escalate until authorities, a higher power, a tragedy, or intervention happens . We work to reach all families before they reach a crisis, providing pathways to resources and a local support network. When families find themselves on the brink of new life, other families often refer them to us. The biggest impact we have on the public is making sure children have safe places to sleep, safe care providers, healthy birth options, nourishment in healthy food sources, and making sure their parents always have someone local to call when life gets hard.

All staff working in Department of Human Services (DHS) certified child care programs are required to maintain current Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification (55 Pa. Code §§ 3270.31, 3280.31, and 3290.31).

Funding has become available through the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) to support free training opportunities during the limited timeframe of March-June 2026. OCDEL is partnering with the Early Childhood Education Linkage System (ECELS) program at the PA Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (PA AAP) to coordinate these free Pediatric First Aid/CPR training offerings as part of the Emergency Response Training (ERT) project.

Child care workers are eligible for free training if they are currently employed by a licensed early childhood education (ECE) center in Pennsylvania, AND if they meet at least one of the following criteria:
their Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification has expired or is set to expire within the next 12 months*;
they are a newly hired employee who must complete their initial certification within 90 days of their employment start date; or
Their certification is out of compliance due to a program citation.

*Priority for class assignment will be based on certification expiration date. Waitlists will be created if requests exceed project capacity.

Classes from approved instructors using the HSI Pediatric First Aid | CPR AED curriculum will be scheduled through the middle of June 2026, or until funds are exhausted. Training can be requested as either an ECE Program (minimums apply, classes will take place on-site) or an individual participant (training locations TBD). Requests will be approved on a rolling basis; accepted applicants will be contacted directly regarding next steps. Please note that follow-up communication may be delayed at the start of the project window.

To request training or search the FAQs, please visit the ERT page on the ECELS website.
Additional questions can be directed to the ECELS program at ecels@paaap.org.

A positive labor experience has the potential to enhance overall satisfaction with childbirth, foster a deeper bond between parents and infants in the initial weeks, and facilitate a smooth transition into postpartum care (Simkin).

The perception of one's birth experience is influenced more by the level of involvement in decision-making and support received during labor, rather than the events themselves (Elmir).

While prenatal preparation, including nutrition, hydration, exercise, and informed provider selection, is crucial for a healthy birth, it is equally important to recognize the role of circumstances and choices during labor in maintaining a positive trajectory. Call MiMi's Kinder Connection at (412) 902-8932. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
