Infant Toddler Youth Safety

Infant Toddler Youth Safety is a Los Angeles-based organization focused on one specific and critical gap in safety education: preparing caregivers, parents, educators, and childcare professionals to respond confidently when a young child is in danger. Their programs are grounded in evidence-based emergency response curricula and adapted for the realities of working with infants, toddlers, and school-age children. They've built a reputation in the LA area for making this content genuinely accessible rather than intimidating. Their educational approach is patient, skill-focused, and designed for people who may never have taken a formal first aid course before. Whether you work in a licensed childcare facility, run a family daycare, teach at a school, or are simply a parent who wants to be prepared, their programs meet you where you are. Every session emphasizes competence over compliance.

Infant Toddler Youth Safety delivers specialized safety education programs designed around the developmental and physiological differences between children and adults in emergency situations. Their flagship offering is pediatric CPR and first aid training, which covers infant CPR, child CPR, choking response for different age groups, AED use, and recognition of common pediatric emergencies like febrile seizures and allergic reactions. They offer classes for individual parents and caregivers as well as group training for childcare centers, preschools, elementary schools, after-school programs, and youth-serving nonprofits. Courses can be held on-site at your facility, which reduces scheduling friction for busy programs. Beyond CPR and first aid, they provide safety education workshops covering topics like safe sleep practices for infants, childproofing and hazard identification at home and in care settings, water safety fundamentals, and emergency preparedness for families. Some workshops are designed to be delivered to parent groups and community organizations. For licensed childcare providers, they understand California Title 22 requirements and can help facilities ensure their staff training is compliant and properly documented.

Getting started with Infant Toddler Youth Safety is straightforward. For individual parents or small groups, they offer scheduled public classes you can register for directly. For childcare centers or schools, reach out to discuss a private on-site session. For institutional clients, the process begins with a brief needs assessment to confirm which certifications are required, how many staff need training, and what compliance documentation the facility needs after completion. From there, they schedule a session that works with your staffing schedule. Class sizes are intentionally kept manageable so every participant gets hands-on practice time. This isn't a lecture-based certification factory. Instructors move through the room, provide individual coaching, and make sure everyone actually knows how to perform the skills before the session ends. After training, clients receive certification documentation and can reach out with follow-up questions. They want participants to feel genuinely capable, not just certified on paper.

Infant Toddler Youth Safety serves families, childcare providers, and community organizations throughout Los Angeles. They regularly work in neighborhoods across the city including the Eastside, South LA, the San Fernando Valley, and the Westside. They're especially active in communities with high concentrations of licensed childcare providers and family daycare homes. On-site training is available for facilities throughout the LA metro area.
