Looking for recommendations for a local basic life safety class for children + adults

any class should be able to take students age about 11 and up. many places won't take younger than that at all for a formal class.
Maplewood Fire Department is the EMT service for Maplewood. South Orange Rescue Squad may offer such a class. I don't know if they take children.
There is a woman in Summit who is certified to teach first aid and CPR, and offers private instruction and certification. Could be ideal for a family who wants to learn together. I don’t know her well, but have known her a long time, and she is very well-liked and well-respected in the community. Send me a message and I’m happy to share her contact info.

I am not sure if there is a basic life safety class (CPRE + AED) that combines children + adults, but if so, I'd like to find a class near Maplewood that my family can take together. Has anyone had a good experience with on-line vs. in-person classes? I'm not sure if on-line classes would be as effective (I found practicing with a live instructor was helpful when I took a class many years ago).
I checked out the red cross website and there were some not so great comments about in-person training and the lack of actual practice time due to Covid restrictions. An ideal class would be a combination of on-line instruction + in-person (at a later date) practice. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?
Does the Maplewood EMT squad or Fire Department offer training?
Many thanks.
