Every day you interact with pre-teens and teens in your community. Many of them are staying home alone for short periods of time, watching younger siblings while their parents run an errand, or perhaps even babysitting other children in the neighborhood. Do you ever wonder if the younger members of your community are prepared for the responsibilities of caring for themselves or younger children?
Safe Sitter, Inc., a national nonprofit organization, offers courses for students in grades 4-8, an age group where quality programs can be challenging to find. Students that complete Safe Sitter® programs know how to handle an emergency – whether it is at home, at school, or in the community. The courses are updated, interactive, and developmentally appropriate for students.
Safe@Home, a 90-minute program for students in grades 4-6, teaches students how to practice safe habits, how to prevent unsafe situations, and what to do when faced with dangers such as power failures or weather emergencies.
