Safe Home Environments

Home is where the heart is—and parents want a safe, healthy home for their children! There are easy ways to help make your home a safe place for your child to grow and thrive. Some safety tips:

Make sure cleaning products and other toxic materials are locked up safely.
Check your smoke detectors regularly to ensure they're working.
Keep doors to bathrooms and laundry rooms closed so young children don't wander in there.
If you keep a gun in your home, keep it unloaded and locked away.
Keep knives and other sharp objects out of reach of children.
Plug outlet covers into unused electrical outlets.
Make sure window blind cords are always out of children's reach.
