Caring Professionals
Lessons are taught by members of
Akron Police and Fire Departments, and the Burn Unit from Akron Children's Hospital, nurses, and other professionals, supported by caring volunteers. |
Fun ExperiencesChildren have hands-on experiences with a Fire Truck and EMS Unit,
Fire Safety House and Police Cruiser. They enjoy art and craft projects, as well as story and snack time. Every child takes home a bicycle helmet and Akron Safety Town T-shirt — and much more! |
Practice Makes PerfectEveryday at Akron Safety Town
children practice what they learn by riding bicycles in our specially designed courses, having time on the playground, watching a puppet show, role-playing 911 emergency calls, getting on a Metro bus, singing songs and playing games that reinforce the lessons. |
