Stay Safe Drills with Young Children

VirtualRegister
Participate in this essential training to create emergency drills tailored to young children’s developmental needs, promoting safety, emotional security, and readiness in early childhood settings.

Discover how to create safety procedures that protect young children while honoring their developmental needs.

Join us for an engaging event focused on creating effective, developmentally-appropriate stay safe procedures, such as “lockdown” and “active shooter” drills, for early childhood settings. While these drills aim to ensure safety, they often overlook the unique developmental needs of young children. Together, we’ll explore strategies to keep children calm and secure during emergencies, while fostering an environment of trust and care. Share your experiences, gain valuable insights, and contribute to meaningful discussions on how to better prepare staff and children for these challenging
