Safe-T-City is a comprehensive safety education program designed to teach children critical life safety skills. Police officers, guest speakers, and certified teachers provide instruction on topics including pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, school bus safety, electrical safety, stranger awareness, fire safety, and water safety. Children participate in interactive learning through songs, activities, and hands-on experiences in a fully constructed miniature city featuring streets, sidewalks, buildings, traffic signals, and signage. The program is designed to prepare children for real-world situations in a safe and engaging environment. The program is open to children entering kindergarten in the upcoming school year.
