SAFETY TOWN
Geneva Lake Women’s Association Safety Town 2023 will be Tuesday, June 6th – Friday, June 9th. It will be held at Lake Geneva Middle School, 600 N. Bloomfield Rd., Lake Geneva. Safety Town is an early childhood safety education program designed for children who are at least 5 years of age and entering five-year-old kindergarten in the fall of 2023. During a 12 hour program (3 hours per day for 4 days), children learn safety behavior under the guidance of certified teachers and qualified professionals, such as firefighters and police personnel. Children learn safety lessons through role playing, games, art projects, stories, movies and field trips. Children also learn traffic and bike safety by driving their “cars” in our child-sized Safety Town. Learning experiences are designed to be fun and non-threatening, so children look forward to every day of Safety Town.
