Welcome to the Hopewell Valley Safety Town
Safety Town is a community project designed to provide hands-on safety education for children. A realistic, child-sized town with miniature streets, buildings, crosswalks and working traffic lights, Safety Town offers an authentic setting for bicycle, pedestrian and vehicular safety instruction.
Safety Town is a one-week summer program offered to rising Hopewell Valley School District Kindergartners. The program is directed by YMCA staff members with assistance from local youth volunteers and features visits by police, firefighters, paramedics and other local first responders.
The mission of the Hopewell Valley Safety Town is to provide rising Kindergartners in Hopewell Valley with an introduction to safety awareness in a safe, fun and constructive play environment. This early childhood safety education program is designed so children will have the tools to be able to create safe situations for themselves in everyday life, including social skills, traffic & pedestrian skills, safety in the community and safety at home.
