Safety Programs for Kids

KARE currently offers two essential programs for elementary school-aged children: Internet Safety for grades 3-5 and Body Safety for grades K-5. Through engaging videos, discussions, activities, and other evidence-based best practices, we empower kids to protect themselves, providing them with the necessary tools to stay safe.
