Nothing is more important than children’s safety, and as SafeStart author Larry Wilson notes in his book Inside Out, keeping children safe is one of the most motivating factors for almost everyone. So we’re always pleased when our clients take SafeStart Home, our free educational resources for the children and families of SafeStart-trained workers, and bring its important safety message to their community.

Recently, Kydex presented a SafeStart-focused safety lesson to children at the YMCA in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. There were two training classes, one for 5-8-year-old kids and the other for 9-12-year-old kids. Both classes were highly involved and very interactive, and the children not only had many questions but they also showed off their new knowledge by helping to answer their peers’ questions.

Everyone had a great time and the trainers found it particularly rewarding to see how engaged the children were in the safety awareness classes. We’d like to offer a tremendous thank you to Kydex for bringing SafeStart’s safety skills to children in their community and to congratulate them on a successful event!
