Childcare CPR & first aid requirements
First Aid & CPR Honduras
If you work in childcare in Honduras — 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 Honduras requires
In Honduras, no strict legal duty to train every staff member in first aid has been found for childcare centres. The 2025 Law for the Implementation of Childcare Centers and Infant Facilities creates a care framework coordinated by SENAF, but there is as yet no implementing regulation imposing first-aid certification on staff. Even without a binding mandate, having trained staff is the expected standard for any centre that cares for children responsibly.
Anaphylaxis and medication administration
Honduras has no specific anaphylaxis or adrenaline framework for childcare, and adrenaline can only be obtained as a prescription ampoule, with no auto-injectors marketed. In the absence of concrete rules, a child's safety rests on how prepared the staff are. Best practice is to recognise the signs of a severe allergic reaction, obtain the family's written authorization for any of the child's medication and store it safely and clearly labelled.
How our courses meet these requirements
A recognized, standards-based certification in pediatric first aid and CPR meets Honduras’s requirement and keeps your team ready to act.
Don't wait for renewal day
Even though the law does not yet spell it out, no regulation replaces a person who knows what to do when a child stops breathing or suffers a severe reaction: the first minutes are everything. Training in pediatric first aid and CPR lets you anticipate and act with composure, and shows every family that their child is in good hands. A certification built on recognised standards puts you ahead of the rules and turns care into a genuine guarantee.
