If you took an online-only CPR class between March 24, 2020 and June 30, 2022, it will be accepted for
training credit in the Oregon Registry Online (ORO). When it is time for the next renewal of your CPR/First
Aid certification, you must complete CPR training with in-person instruction. All CPR classes taken on or
after July 1, 2022, must have the in-person training component.
To find classes, contact the local Child Care Resource & Referral office, or check the Oregon Registry Online Training Calendar at https://calendar.oregonregistryonline.org/.
If you have questions, please contact your licensing specialist or contact occ.customerservice@ode.oregon.gov.
The Oregon State Legislature recently amended a statute to prohibit the use of crib bumper pads for children up to age 3. This change also prohibits a facility from having crib bumper pads on the premises, unless a medical professional has determined that using a crib bumper pad is medically necessary for a particular child who uses a crib in the licensed facility.
The Office of Child Care will be revising the rules for Certified Centers, Certified Family and Registered Family child care facilities to align with this change in statute.
