Thursday, Jan. 28 4:30 - 7:30 p.m.*

Is your child ready to stay home alone? The Home Alone Safety class through Sterling Heights Parks & Recreation helps children and their families get ready for their child's first steps towards independence and being without adult supervision.
Our course is designed for 9-14 year old children to help prepare them when they are alone. Phone calls and visitors, recognizing hazards, how to respond to severe weather and power outages, first aid basics, fire and pool safety, and how and when to use 911 will be covered.
This three-hour course, led by members of SHFD and SHPD, will teach your child the safest ways to cope with the unexpected.
Parents may accompany their child if they desire but it is not required.
