Childcare CPR & first aid requirements
First Aid & CPR Wyoming
If you work in childcare in Wyoming — whether at a daycare, preschool, home-based care, or camp — first aid and CPR certification is not optional. It's a licensing requirement, and for good reason: children are among the most vulnerable to choking, allergic reactions, and injuries. Being prepared to respond can mean everything.
What Wyoming requires
Wyoming's Department of Family Services licenses child care under its Rules for Certification of Child Care Facilities, Chapter 6 §2(vii): at least one person certified in infant and child CPR and first aid must be in attendance at all times and in every area where children are in care. Under Chapter 6 §8(d), any person providing direct care must earn that certification within three months of starting in child care and keep it current thereafter. The rule ties coverage to every space children occupy, not just the main room.
Anaphylaxis and medication administration
Wyoming's child care licensing rules require staff to complete a Medication Administration class before giving any medication, along with a parent-signed consent form specifying the dose, date and time, and instructions. Medication must be stored in a safety-lock container within an enclosed space that is inaccessible to children. For a child with a severe allergy, that means the epinephrine auto-injector stays secured yet ready for trained staff, backed by a signed authorization that spells out exactly how and when to use it.
How our courses meet these requirements
A recognized, standards-based certification — online theory paired with a hands-on skills check — meets Wyoming’s requirement and keeps your team ready to act.
Don't wait for renewal day
In Wyoming, where help can be a long drive away, the certified caregiver on site is often the only responder a child will have in the first critical minutes of a cardiac or allergic emergency. Certification turns that responsibility into confident, practiced action, and it gives families the assurance that the people watching their child are truly ready. A recognized, standards-based course that blends online learning with a hands-on skills check meets the state's three-month deadline and keeps your license and your team ready together.
