Keys to Kids' Safety
The Keys to Kids' Safety Program provides community outreach initiatives and child safety resources such as educational materials and training. This program addresses vehicle and bike safety, safe sleep practices, home environment and poison safety.
This program helps parents and caregivers to provide a safe environment to raise their children through the provision of education, support, and safety supplies. We address vehicle and bike safety, safe sleep practices, water and pool safety, home environment and poison safety, and nutrition assistance.
We also conduct children's car seat inspection and installation events and provide new car seats for a small donation, provide education to all community members and, in some cases, cribs, and other necessary safety equipment to parents, caregivers, and agency personnel to ensure the safety of Monroe County children.
