Fingerprinting and ID's for Children
It only takes seconds for a child without training to be lured into a dangerous situation. As much as you would like to, you can’t be with your child every minute of the day to protect them.
So how can you teach your children the skills they need to protect themselves without scaring them?
Christopher's Clubhouse uses the radKIDS curriculum that actually trains children, in a multi-sensory, fun and interactive environment, to respond to dangerous scenarios. Children are taught safety education; everything from Home Safety to Defense Against Abduction by doing simulated activities. Once they’ve actually done it, and practiced it, the necessary skills will come naturally and instinctively in a dangerous situation. Through radKIDS training, children become empowered learning to replace the fear, confusion, and panic of dangerous situations with confidence, personal safety skills and self- esteem.
Christopher's Clubhouse is honored to be a part in the "Not One More Child" Safety Initiative.
Because it takes a community to protect our children
Instructors are trained to empower children and parents to stop the cycle of violence.
Those that are recommended for Certification Training are law enforcement officers, teachers and other educators,
dedicated parents and volunteers as well as family resource providers and counselors.
The training involves certification in the radKIDS Personal Empowerment and Safety Education Program.
This curriculum has been endorsed by the National Sheriff's Association and is the national leader in safety education and violence prevention for children. www.radkids.org
The Certification will also include instruction in the Samantha's PRIDE Neighborhood Child Protection Program.
The PRIDE Program is patterned after the example of a lion’s pride whereby all of the adults work together to keep a vigilant watch outside to protect the young from predators. PRIDE Program Facilitators offer public presentations focused on raising awareness and prevention education as well as an opportunity to join a Neighborhood PRIDE to ensure continued vigilance for child protection. Similar to the Neighborhood Watch model, PRIDE Members submit a background check application and take an oath to work together to model safe parenting behaviors and provide outdoor supervision of children before and after school, at community events and parks.
