Safety Town

Safety Town for 2024 is complete. Thank you for signing your child up for this important program.

Registration for 2025 will be available Spring 2025.

Safety Town is a fun four-day safety awareness program that is designed for children entering kindergarten. Through the use of music, crafts, videos, books, community speakers and a child-sized town, the children are taught basic safety lessons they will use for the rest of their lives.

Every day the children face new challenges as they learn the proper way to cross the street, buckle their seat belt, wear a helmet while riding a bicycle, and understand basic traffic rules. In addition, we cover other safety lessons such as: stranger danger, water, fire, school bus, and how to dial 911.

Representatives from the Union County Health Department, Marysville Division of Police, Union County Sheriff’s Office, Marysville Division of Fire and others participate at Safety Town to make every day an unforgettable experience for the children.
