Low Crime Rates means safer Preschools in Orchard Road

Singapore has a very low crime rates and U.S. ranked the safest city in the Asia-Pacific. Healthcare standards are also high, with about 1 doctor to every 625 persons. There are mostly petty crimes such as pick – pocketing and theft. So if your child is currently enrolled or is going to be enrolled at one of the Schools in Singapore, particularly in orchard road, you can be rest assured that your child will be in a safe environment inside and outside the classroom. But just to be sure, take some precautions by doing whatever you can to keep your child safe, such as the following:

1. Stranger danger
As your preschooler’s world expands, there will be times when you will not be there to keep him or her safe, like when he is at the Child Care School in orchard road or at a friend’s birthday party. Let him or her know that if you are running late to pick him or her up, he should stay in a safe area, such as the preschool playground, until you arrive. It is important that your child understands ‘stranger danger’ so that he can stay safe even when you are not around.

2. Playgrounds
Make sure that your child is safe at playgrounds in his or her Childcare Preschool in orchard road. The chance of a playground injury is greater for preschool and primary school children, as they are developing body strength and judgment skills. Falls are also the most common injury. The safest equipment for children three to five years is less than 1.5 meters high. Also, try to watch your child at all times and stand nearby if he is trying a daring new feat.

3. Cars and road safety
Of course, strangers and playgrounds at Preschool Singapore, especially, in orchard road are not the only threats to your child’s safety. Make sure your child is also safe especially when he or she is on the road. In the car, preschoolers should sit in a child restraint or a booster seat. Use a car restraint that meets Singaporean standards. Consider a booster seat for children over four. Studies show that older children still get much more protection from their seatbelt if they use a booster seat. Also, don’t leave him or her unattended. Your car is an oven on wheels and children can overheat very quickly if left inside especially in the warm and humid weather of Singapore. Always hold your child’s hand whenever you cross the road and when walking along the crowded streets of Orchard Road. Until the age of about 10, children are not able to keep themselves safe around traffic.
