Bedford Public Schools Community Education

The purpose of this program is geared toward pre-kindergarten students to help them learn and understand good safety habits both at home and away. Children will become acquainted with a semi-school routine as well as becoming friends with many resource people in our community. Your child will be more confident and secure when they start school in the fall. Each child is taught basic rules of traffic and pedestrian safety, fire prevention, school bus safety, poison control, water safety, stranger danger and much more. In addition to the activities in the classroom, the students will practice pedestrian safety, learn how to get to and from school safely and "drive" big-wheel type cars while learning traffic rules. Safety Town is specially designed for your child's needs - it's both fun and educational.
