Community Helpers: Ambulance and Police Theme for Preschool

This goal of this preschool theme is to help children learn more about the Community Helpers of the Police and Ambulance/EMT paramedics.

Knowing who these workers are and what they do will help children feel less frightened in the event of an emergency.

be unsafe. However, if done with help, it can be safe!

Help is on the way.

If I need help, I know what to do.

I can call the police, the firefighters and ambulance, too.

It makes me feel safe to know what to do.
