Safety Town is an early childhood safety education program designed
to introduce all types of safety conditions to four, five, and six-year-old
children. During a ten-day course, children learn safety behavior
through their own involvement.
They do this by role-playing in simulated and actual life situations
(under the guidance of a teacher and a police officer). Safety songs,
poems, art projects, stories, movies, and a bus trip, combined with
actual practice, make this program a fun, learning experience that
children eagerly look forward to attending! 240 children will graduate
from the program by the end of the summer.
Sponsored by: National
Safety Town Center in cooperation with the Brookings Police Department
and the Brookings Traffic Safety Committee.
