[Oakfield] Home Alone
[Oakfield] Babysitting Course
[Red Cross] Stay Safe! Home Alone Course
Whether you’re working from home or away from home. You need to focus on your work. This virtual workshop will give your child all the tools they need to stay at home by themselves.
Your child will feel proud of their new responsibilities. And you’ll have peace of mind that they know how to handle themselves.
Trusted by …
Some say it takes a village to raise a child…
You could teach your child what they need to know about staying home alone.
But let’s face it. Sometimes it’s easier to hear something from someone else.
Plus, during the course, your child will be learning first aid skills. Although you learned these skills in the last first aid course you took. You may not feel comfortable teaching them to your child. Or, quite frankly have the time.
After taking this course, your child will be ready to discuss with you the logistics of them staying home alone.
We make it easier to have those conversations. To ease the transition to the next stage of independence.
For both of you.
Before
Unsure if it would be okay to leave your child home alone. Not sure if they could handle themselves.
After
Confident that your child can handle themselves well. Whether you’re at work or working from home… or need to pop out to get groceries!
This course will teach your child how to…
Develop Safe Routines
Routines offer clear guidelines so everyone knows what’s expected.
Handle Unexpected Situations
Having some coping strategies at the ready makes handling unexpected situations easier.
Cope With Emergencies
Learning first aid skills and knowing what to do in an emergency instills confidence and reduces stress.
Here’s what you get…
Pre-Class Prep
Getting ready for the class. Learning phone numbers, addresses, and who to call in case of emergency. This knowledge is critical.
Interactive Virtual Class
Your child will participate in an engaging virtual class.
Build your child’s confidence!
