Now Offering Classes
The Sweet Grass County Early Childhood Coalition offers the Safe Sitter Course to our community.
In Big Timber Montana, as in most communities, inadequate emphasis is often placed on the magnitude of the responsibility a young teen accepts when babysitting or watching younger siblings. Most youth lack knowledge of first aid, rescue skills, behavior management techniques, and how to handle medical or household emergencies. Successful completion of an educational course addressing these competencies should be a community standard.
This program has been around since 1980, and presents a highly-structured, competency-based curriculum designed to provide skills for life. It offers medically accurate instruction packaged with engaging teaching techniques and participant materials. Individuals who complete a comprehensive Safe Sitter® course become safe, nurturing babysitters. Young teens and preteens also learn how to be safe when home alone after school.
