“Parents give birth to children, heaven gives birth to nature,” but keeping children safe is the responsibility of family, school, and society. Especially in preschool environments, where children are still young and vulnerable, special attention is needed to prevent injuries. So, what are the current results of injury prevention in preschools? Let’s find out!
The Importance of Injury Prevention in Preschools
Preschool is a child’s second home. Here, children learn, play, and develop. However, it also harbors many potential injury risks if not properly addressed. From falls and collisions with objects to more serious accidents like food poisoning and drowning… all can affect a child’s health and safety. Ms. Lan, a preschool teacher at Hoa Sen Kindergarten in Hanoi, shared in her book “Keeping Your Baby Safe”: “Every injury, no matter how small, can leave long-term physical and mental consequences for children. Therefore, prevention is the most important key.”
Achievements and Remaining Challenges
Injury prevention in preschools has seen many positive changes in recent years. Thanks to the efforts of the education sector, preschools have increased investment in facilities and safety equipment, while also raising awareness among teachers and parents about this issue. The number of injuries in preschools has significantly decreased. However, “while there’s life, there’s hope,” there are still challenges to overcome. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Thanh, a preschool education expert: “Subjective negligence among some teachers and parents still exists. Lack of investment funds and equipment in some preschools in remote and isolated areas is also a difficulty.”
Solutions to Enhance Injury Prevention Effectiveness
To minimize injuries in preschools, the joint effort of the entire community is needed. Schools need to regularly inspect and maintain facilities, ensuring safety for children. Teachers need to be well-trained in first aid skills and emergency response. Parents also need to actively cooperate with schools and educate their children about safety awareness. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, Principal of Be Ngoan Kindergarten in Ho Chi Minh City, shared: “We always put children’s safety first. In addition to investing in facilities, we also organize training sessions for teachers and parents on injury prevention.”
