Under the guidance of ten classroom teachers, police officers, firefighters, EMS and other community helpers, children will be taught in an indoor classroom setting as well as on a specially designed kid-sized “Safety Town” virtual town.

Each child is fitted with their own bike safety helmet that they use for the week and then take home to keep. They will ride pedal cars and walk and “shop” through the town complete with buildings, crosswalks, sidewalks, street markings. They also tour an ambulance, fire truck and school bus.

Children must be eligible to enter a kindergarten program in the Fall of 2015.
