However, the operation must have at least one employee or caregiver on the premises while children are in care that has a current certificate in pediatric CPR.
The pediatric CPR:
(1) Must adhere to the guidelines for CPR for a layperson established by the American Heart Association, and consist of a curriculum that incudes use of a CPR manikin and both written and hands-on skill-based instruction, practice, and testing; and
(2) May be provided through blended learning that utilizes online technology, including self-instructional training, as long as the criteria in paragraph (1) of this subsection is met.
