"Thank you for the opportunity to review Disaster Preparedness in Child Care.  What a great presentation.  I feel our child care centers are certainly an underserved and at risk population when it comes to disaster preparedness.

I thought the transparencies were excellent, not too wordy but enough points to generate good discussion and raise awareness.  I also like the ideas for participant activities, easy to pick and choose according to age group and situation (i.e., after school and latchkey programs)."

Sincerely,

Michelle Smith, RN
Yuma County Bio-Terrorism Coordinator

 

"My Healthy Child Care Alabama Nurse Consultants have used the "Child Health Information and Prevention Resources" materials for all providers and have found the training programs to be well written with up-to-date information and resources to support the information."

"The CHIPR training materials are an excellent source of concise, up-to-date information.  They have proven to be a real time saver for me and also my fellow CCHC's in North Carolina.  I particularly like the Pre- and Post-tests that enable me to identify and document participant learning.  Also, having suggested activities complete with an "items needed" list is wonderful.  I have used many of these materials and have always had very positive responses from both the child care staff trainees and parents."
