While there are many steps and tasks involved with starting an early childhood education business, some of the most important aspects have to do with hiring and training the best possible employees that you can find. After all, these are the individuals who will be responsible not only for teaching and caring for the children who attend your facility but also for keeping them safe.

Question

And while hiring highly trained and properly educated caregivers is essential, it is also important to provide additional training specific to your establishment for your new employees. So, for this lab, you will imagine that you have spent the past year working hard to get your early childhood education facility open. You just hired five new full-time employees who will be visiting the facility later this week for their first afternoon of training.

You have decided to create a video explaining and discussing a pre-made slideshow presentation that offers a basic overview of some of your most important procedures and policies. You tend to get nervous speaking in front of people and feel that a video of you explaining the slideshow will ensure that you do not miss anything important that you want to impart.

You want to give these employees an introduction to the vision that you have for your facility and provide some relevant information but also want to avoid getting too much into the nitty-gritty details just yet—this will come on Day 2 of training.

For this Day 1 training video, you have come up with the following list of topics/items that you want to include in your slideshow and video:

Your mission statement or the overall vision for your facility

What do you hope to provide children with? Creativity? Social skills? Nature appreciation?
An overview of how a day in the life of their role as caregiver will look

Greeting students, snack time, nap time, outdoor play, educational activities, etc.
Basic safety procedures

What to do if a child is sick, scrapes a knee, has a fever
Visit the American Red Cross website to research some basic first aid procedures and include videos of yourself demonstrating these skills properly
CPR

Visit the American Red Cross website to locate CPR/first aid/AED trainings near you and include this information in your presentation so that your employees are aware of where they need to go to get certified
Include a clear list of the steps your employees need to take to get certified
Include a detailed list of the basic steps involved with performing CPR properly based on your research
Include at least one video of a certified CPR person demonstrating CPR (if you are personally CPR certified, you may perform the demonstration video)
Any other general items or information that you would want to express to your employees on their first day at your facility

In order to properly address these items, you will need to do some online research. This will include specific research on CPR and first aid as well as exploring what kind of information other childcare facilities might include on these topics.

Start by gathering your research, then compile this into a slideshow presentation. Next, decide how you will structure your video, get out your recording device, and start recording! Your slideshow presentation should be included in your video, either projected onto the wall or perhaps focused on the slideshow presentation with your voice in the background. Get creative!

Please make sure that your video does not exceed 15 minutes. Submit a list of websites and resources that you used in your research along with your video.
