Services

CPR certification, continuing education, and emergency preparedness -- all from one trusted provider. Most centers juggle three separate vendors for these. With ReadyNest, it is one call.

CPR & First Aid Certification

American Heart Association Heartsaver certification courses built for childcare providers, educators, and community members. Your team walks out certified the same day with the hands-on training Texas requires.

  • Infant and pediatric CPR/AED
  • Adult CPR/AED
  • Heartsaver CPR/AED Certification -- meets Texas childcare licensing requirements
  • Basic first aid principles
  • Hands-on instruction using professional CPR manikins and equipment
  • Same-day AHA certification cards
  • Friends & Family CPR -- informational course for parents and caregivers. Contact for group pricing.
$75 per student | Minimum 4 students per class

Did you know? Online-only CPR courses do not meet Texas childcare licensing requirements. Texas mandates hands-on training with manikins. ReadyNest training is fully in-person, exactly as the state requires.
