To increase our students level of awareness through fun and interactive awareness training.

Mission Statement
PLAYITSAFE is a fun, interactive, age appropriate method that teaches students to respond appropriately to unique challenges they must face such as, dealing with bullies, teasing, meanness, stranger awareness and abduction defense.
PLAYITSAFE is based on a simple but very effective step-by-step approach where students practice their techniques against trained instructors in age appropriate scenarios. This 2-hour empowering class teaches children ages 5 to 11 years, to be aware of their surroundings, project confidence, set boundaries and trust their intuition.This can only come from hands-on, repetitive training. Students will role-play with a mock "Stranger" and a mock "bully", while being coached by an instructor.
