Children's Safety Village
The Children's Safety Village is a place where children learn about safety in a hands-on way. A child-size "village" provides a setting where children can prepare and practice real-life situations.
The Edmond Children's Safety Village is a life-safety education center complete with a city park, buildings, streets, traffic lights and vehicles. The center is expected to open in 2008.
Students will learn fire, traffic, water, pedestrian and other personal safety skills from uniformed firefighters, police officers and Public Works staff. The core theme of instruction is that fires and injuries are understandable, predictable and almost always preventable. The campus also serves as home base for juvenile fire-setting intervention and other community-based life safety programs.
