You work in childcare services, are an early childhood educator, a teacher, or are part of the next generation of childcare services professionals? You work with young children at a day camp, sports club or recreation center? Concussions in early childhood concern you in one way or another. 

Active play and exploration are essential for child development but can also pose risks, such as falls from a slide or collisions between children. Knowing what to do when a head injury occurs is crucial. Your role is vital as you act as a safety net for the child. 

That’s why we have developed the COCO Educational Kit, which includes key information related to concussions in young children. 

COCO Educational Kit

This educational kit is intended for teachers and students in early childhood education, as well as staff in childcare services. It is also for anyone wishing to acquire knowledge about concussions in young children.

Training 

To equip as many practitioners as possible, we have developed a self-contained training kit ready to be used in an educational context. A 60-minute format is suggested for the training, with additional exercises available as needed. Several themes and questions are addressed, such as: 

  • What is a concussion? 
  • What are the signs and symptoms of a concussion in young children? 
  • What to do after a head injury? 
  • What does recovery and return to activities look like? 

Case studies

To test your knowledge or that of your students and  trainees, we have created several illustrated case studies.
