Q. Can I register more than one child?
A. You can register up to 4 of your own children at a time. Each parent should only register their own children.

Q. Can I register a friend's child?
A. NO! By signing up another child (who is not your own), you are forging the consent of the other parent, since the waiver includes unforeseeable issues that may arise with the children's safety. It puts you at risk for the other child's liability, and it places Safety Town at an increased risk also.

A. The Safety Town Summer Program is designed for children entering Kindergarten or First Grade in the fall.

Q. How do I know if my child is ready to attend Safety Town?
A. Children should be able to sit still and quietly for up to 15 minutes while the community workers do their presentations. They should also be able to pedal a small four-wheel bike. Children not able to do both should wait until they are going into First Grade to enter the program.

Q. Does my child need to bring anything with them to Safety Town?
A. Bikes are provided, and while we stress the importance of wearing helmets, the children do not wear helmets on Safety Town bike days due to logisitcal constraints.
