School Based Education

Our body safety education curriculum includes components for teachers and caregivers and seeks to increase awareness of abuse, teach strategies for prevention, and instruct on how to report abuse if it has occurred. Lessons are developmentally age-appropriate and equip children with a strategy to help keep themselves safe and encourages open dialogue between children and the adults in their lives on issues related to sexual development and abuse.

Kindergarten Program

The kindergarten program is delivered over four consecutive weeks during 15 minute presentations. The lessons lay the foundation for our third grade body safety program by covering the following key concepts in a developmentally appropriate way:

  • Body autonomy – understanding our personal space bubble and boundaries
  • Safe & Unsafe touch – recognizing the “uh oh” feeling, saying stop, and getting help
  • Private parts – knowing that some parts of our bodies are special and shouldn’t be touched and those are the parts covered by a swimsuit
  • Trusted adults – identifying who to tell if someone gives us the uh oh feeling, gives us an unsafe touch or does anything involving our private parts; these are things grown-ups need to know about

The curriculum uses simple language, puppets for role play, books, videos and worksheets to reinforce learning objectives.

We’re excited to offer delivery of our kindergarten curriculum in English or Spanish.

Third Grade Program

Our School Based Education Program was founded on our program for 3rd grade children consisting of four thirty-minute class presentations over four consecutive weeks. The lessons emphasize:

  • The Touching Rules & body safety rules
  • The difference between secrets, surprises, and personal information
  • Identifying trusted adults
  • The “No, Go, Tell” plan

The curriculum uses simple language, puppets for role play, books, videos and worksheets to reinforce learning objectives.

Fifth Grade Program

Our 5th grade program continues the conversation from our 3rd grade program and is geared to help students feel prepared for the challenges that may arise in middle school.  This program consists of one 50 minute lesson.

The interactive curriculum reinforces critical thinking and provides students with information and skills to help keep themselves safe.  Topics include:

  • Boundaries - Physical, Emotional, Digital
  • Consent - What it means to give consent and when we need to ask for consent
  • Online Safety - How boundaries and consent apply online
  • When to ask for help from a Trusted Adult

The curriculum encourages peer to peer discussions, group activities, and problem solving within scenarios, along with videos to reinforce learning objectives.
