Preschool
Road safety is a shared responsibility, and early childhood services play a vital role in helping to keep young children safe. With busy roads, car parks, and pedestrian areas surrounding many centres, proactive road safety practices and education are essential to protecting children and supporting safe behaviours from an early age.
The Department of Education's Early childhood education sector has information about:
- Travelling safely to and from preschool - advice for families
- Unpacking excursions
Taking children out on excursions can provide many wonderful real-life experiences and the opportunity to talk about being safe when near roads.
This site provides support on how to manage excursions, examples and resources to support staff.
Road Safety Education in Early Childhood Services
Kids and Traffic are part of the TfNSW's School Road Safety Education program and provides early childhood road safety resources and professional learning.
