Are you the parent of a preschool child? Then you know it’s never too early to teach kids how to stay safe in a whole range of situations.

The City of Farmington Hills is offering Safety Town, a safety education program aimed at preschoolers ages four to six. Children will learn about everyday safety including pedestrian, motorist, bus, bicycle, fire, water, playground, stranger safety, and more.

Safety Town gets important messages across through songs, crafts and movies, plus special visits from the Farmington Hills Police and a bus trip to the Farmington Hills Fire Department.
