DESCRIPTION

The Clifton Safety Town Program is modeled after a national program designed to educate and to train children in the importance of safety through involvement in “real life” situations. A miniature town with streets, buildings and traffic signs is used. “Big Wheels” will also be provided as part of the program to give additional instruction in traffic safety. Children are instructed in lessons of fire, electrical, pool and road safety, as well as nutrition, first aid, drug prevention, and dental hygiene.
