The Center for Childhood Safety’s Safety Town, sponsored by Prevea Health and HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital, is a week-long summer program for children ages 4 to 9 where they learn and practice safety skills under the guidance of licensed teachers and trained professionals.
The program includes classroom segments as well as hands-on practice of their safety skills on the streets of the child-sized Safety Town. Safety professionals from throughout the community also participate as guest speakers and help teach children. Safety topics covered include bicycle and pedestrian safety, child passenger safety, fire, bus, animal, water safety and more.
