Frequently asked questions
What is the age range for this class?
The class is available to youth ages 11 to 15.
What information does this class cover?
This is an infant and child CPR class, covering choking rescue techniques and CPR for infants and children up to age 8.
Do students receive an American Heart Association certification card from this class?
Yes. Students will receive a two-year certification card.
If I have more than one child and I want them to attend the same class, do I have to register each child separately?
Yes. The class fee is $40 per child and each child needs to be registered separately.
I want to sign up another child, who is not a member of our family, in addition to my own. Can I do that?
It is not possible to sign up a child who is not part of your family. Each family must sign up their own child for the class. Adult consent is required when registering, and you can only grant consent for your child.
Also, the registration system assigns each family an account. If you choose to take another class in the future, your registration will fall under your family's account.
I want to sign up a whole group of students (like a Girl Scout troop). How do I do that?
Each family must register individually. To determine how many spaces remain in any given class, call the Great Starts program registration line at (206) 789-2306.
How do I redeem the $5 discount coupon my child received from the Better Babysitters class?
You can receive a $5 discount on CPR for Babysitters if you have registered for, or taken the Better Babysitters class.
If registering online, check the box labeled "Multiple Program Discount." The registration system will adjust your balance due accordingly.
If registering over the phone simply inform the registrar that you have taken or signed up for Better Babysitters.
Do Children’s employees receive a discount on this class?
No. Unfortunately, there is no discount for Children’s employees for the CPR for Babysitters class.
I have general questions about classes at Children’s.
