Boca Raton-based Quality Swimming and Discovery Preschool recently hosted the inaugural Summer Child Safety Day, and local families received instruction on how to keep their children safe during the summer months.
“The Summer Safety Day was a great experience for all of the parents and children who attended the event. Children were able to learn realistic tools for water safety, while parents were taught lifelong tips on CPR, car and home safety,” said Quality Swimming owner Andy Broido.
Representatives from the Red Cross and Palm Beach County’s SafeKids were also on hand providing useful first aid and safety tips.
“This event was a great way to help educate families on the importance of safety at home and on the roads. Accidental injuries still remain the leading cause of death for children birth to 14 years of age with drowning and motor vehicle crashes in the lead,” said Palm Beach County SafeKids program director Kelly Hamilton.
