Intruder Response Preparedness Training

The 3-hour in-person course has been specifically designed for those working in early childhood education. The session will be conducted by the Institute for Childhood Preparedness, a national organization that helps early childhood programs prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters.

Class Participants will learn:

• Evidence-based techniques and strategies to prepare for and respond to an active shooter incident,
• How to conduct safety drills, develop a customized plan, and work together to ensure staff, teachers, and children are best prepared to respond to any at-risk situation, and
• Strategies to keep children calm and quiet during crisis.

*Note: this course is designed to prepare early childhood professionals, not scare them – no live or simulated ammunition will be used in this training.
