Ask participants to list some of the hazards in a child care setting. Review the need for regular safety checks of indoor and outdoor environment. Working in small groups, encourage your class to use the checklist and discuss solutions for some of the possible problems. Respond to any questions that the group may have. Ask questions and emphasize important points that highlight the main concepts.
Most accidents are preventable.
Stress that the child care setting is not a place for weapons or firearms. Providers should explore other means of protecting their facility rather than with firearms.
