🚗 Car Seat & Travel Safety 🚗

Summer travel is here, and keeping children safe on the road is essential. Always use the correct car seat or booster seat for your child’s age and size, ensure proper installation, and make sure everyone is buckled up on every trip, no matter how short. Before locking your vehicle, always check the back seat to help prevent hot car tragedies.

🛝 International Day of Play 🛝

Play is an essential part of childhood. It helps children learn, grow, build relationships, and develop important life skills. Through play, children explore the world around them, express their creativity, and strengthen their physical, social, and emotional well-being. Today, we celebrate the power of play and the important role it has in helping every child thrive.
