Home Safety

Our mission is to keep all kids safe from preventable injuries.  We are not talking about bumps and bruises.  Kids are going to fall, crash, slip and tumble. It’s all part of being a kid, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

That’s why we are here.  We want to make it easy for you to make your home a safe haven for your children by providing information on how to keep your kids safe from preventable injuries.
