Stranger Smart©

Children's Safety Program

Community leaders, educators, and parents alike recognized our Stranger Smart© Program as one of the best programs in teaching stranger safety awareness to elementary schoolchildren, ages 6-12. Stranger Smart© is proven effective, and in a non-threatening way, able to communicate specific rules and actions that children easily learn and retain within minutes, guaranteed. Print out our flyer and take it to your teacher, principal or PTA and request that they sponsor this valuable program for your child’s school.

This anti-abduction safety program is disguised as an exciting, entertaining and fun program to teach youngsters the tools for dealing with strangers. Experts agree that the message of stranger safety is not as effective unless the message is accompanied by extensive role-play. Our program offers plenty of opportunities to role-play using the "5 Steps to Safety" until the children learn to recognize the ploys and potentially dangerous situations that put them at risk and how to avoid them. Plenty of applause and support from their friends and schoolmates creates an exciting atmosphere of learning for the whole school.

"The program is a valuable service to our community. The method of repeatedly summarizing each critical point and allowing the kids to practice the skill with different scenarios are the most effective in driving the message home."
