As your baby grows, they will naturally want to explore their world. You always need to stay one step ahead of your child.

Topics include but not limited to:
  • Childproofing such as using gates around staircases.
  • Safety zone around a crib.
  • Hot car safety.
  • Front overs and back overs prevention with large vehicles such as SUVs and pickup trucks.
  • Choking hazards.
  • Some basic CPR and choking first aid will be taught (this is not a CPR or first aid certification course).
A little planning and preparation can minimize the negative impact of emergencies and natural disasters on your children and your family. Come and learn how to keep your child and your entire family safe!
