The Safe@Last curriculum is an easy-to-follow curriculum with lesson plans for instructors. A daylong in-service training is offered in the fall to discuss curriculum presentation guidelines and techniques, using the instructor manual as a reference piece.

Pricing

The cost of implementing the program is based on the number of schools in the system and the number of students participating. There are several state and federal government programs with earmarked funds for Child Safety Programs for which the Safe@Last curriculum is in compliance.

Reusable

The Safe@Last school kit is an all-inclusive K-6 education package designed to be a one-time purchase for a school. Each kit contains an instructor's manual, age appropriate videos, roll playing cards, skits, flash cards, CD and props (i.e. phones, a puppet and bells) that can be used to teach children for years to come.

Every child receives a workbook to reinforce the lessons learned. The workbooks are required and purchased annually by the school.
