Kidpower believes that the best teachable moment is the earliest teachable moment. Even before children can talk or walk, babies learn from their adults what it means to be safe, respected, nurtured, and valued.
Adults are powerful models for teaching young children to be safe in the world and around other people. It is our job to provide guidance and protection and give our young children information in a developmentally -appropriate way about making safe choices.
- Kidpower provides adult training, when requested, from pregnancy to when their children are 3 years old.
- We teach classes in preschools and kindergartens for 3 to 6 year olds.
- Our Starting Strong workshops are open to the community and are an introduction to People Safety Skills for children 4-6 and their parents/caregivers. Our workshops are designed to be fun and avoid confusing or scary language, attitudes, or concepts.
