Safety Town is a one-week, 3 ½ – hour day, safety education summer program. Safety awareness is introduced to young children (ages 4½ to 6 years) in an age appropriate, fun, and secure environment. Safety Town is a child-size city that will be assembled in the school’s multipurpose room, with traffic light, street and stop signs, striped walkways, crosswalks and streets. Under the guidance of California credentialed teachers, a safety education specialist, trained youth volunteer counselors, and local community safety professionals, 60 or more children will learn and practice essential safety skills they will use in their everyday lives – at home, at school, in the community and in the future.
