What is Safety Town?
The purpose of Safety Town is to educate incoming Kindergarteners on multiple safety topics. These topics include presentations on fire safety, stranger danger, animal safety, water safety, bike safety, school bus operations and more. The primary topics of the day are taught by subject matter experts in their various fields. The children that attend have a full week of activities that enhance the experience for them. We incorporate a music session each day for the children to learn songs. These music classes bear fruit with a presentation for families during our special graduation ceremony at the end of the week. Outside time allows them to engage in physical play time that will also include learning about crosswalks, busses and time with firefighters and police officers.
