Cherokee Safety Town

March 9, 2015
Cherokee Safety Town is a pint-sized town where comprehensive safety messages are taught by safety professionals to kindergarten age children.  Each day your child will learn a different safety message.  

Safety Town serves to reinforce the messages that children already receive from parents, day care providers and preschools.  Along with pedestrian and traffic safety, the innovative curriculum includes poison prevention, water safety, playground safety, animal safety stranger awareness, bicycle safety, school bus safety, and more.  

Safety Town's goal is to help children recognize hazardous situations and react to them.  Children have “hands-on” learning while riding through the Safety Town streets along with singing safety songs, playing safe games, coloring and participating in other activities all designed around the safety message of the day.


Cherokee Safety Town relies heavily on many teen volunteers, speakers who donate their time and knowledge, and most especially on the generosity of our sponsoring agency - Cherokee Safe Kids as well as the continued support of the Cherokee County Council of PTA. 

Registration is open to any child in Cherokee County who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2015!!
