Center for Childhood Safety
Educating the community—and saving lives
Did you know that unintentional injury is the leading cause of death to children? That's why Mary Bridge created the Center for Childhood Safety. We offer Child Safety Services at our Center for Childhood Safety locations in Tacoma, Silverdale, Kent, Covington, as well as at many events throughout western Washington.
We can truly claim that children's lives have been saved through our programs. Although we never will be able to accurately cite the number of lives saved, we are confident that the education provided to these thousands of families results in many lives spared—including the 11-year-old young lady who recently carried her scarred and battered Mary Bridge bike helmet back to our office for a replacement because, as she noted with a smile on her face, “This one did its job.”
Bicycle Helmet Program
In an effort to reduce head injuries related to bike, skateboard, skiing, in-line skate and scooter use, the Center offers custom-fit bicycle helmets for $7, multisport helmets for $10 and ski helmets for $15. Helmets are fitted at our Tacoma office, community events, pediatric practices, and Mary Bridge satellite clinics and schools. For more information on our helmet program, call 253-403-1234.
Child Passenger Safety Program
Nationally, more than 80 percent of car seats are incorrectly used in some way. To help parents, the Center has seven certified National Highway Traffic Safety Child Passenger Safety Technicians on staff. We offer weekly car seat checks in our Tacoma office. Also, we provide car seat inspections at local car dealerships and community events and at our Mary Bridge clinic sites. For more information on our car seat program, call 253-403-1234.
Water Safety Program 
The Center for Childhood Safety provides water safety programs in an effort to reduce drowning related injuries. Life jackets for children and adults are available for loan for up to one week, year round. Families may also purchase low cost life jackets at our offices and at various community events from May - September. In addition, early childhood educators may borrow a curriculum developed by the Center for Childhood Safety called "Water Wise Kids," designed to educate young children about water safety. For more information on our water safety program, call 253-403-7927.
SAFE KIDS
SAFE KIDS is a grassroots organization dedicated to the prevention of childhood injuries. In Pierce, Kitsap and south King Counties, Mary Bridge acts as the lead agency, coordinating the efforts of many injury prevention groups. We focus on such projects as Walk Our Children to School Day, promoting pedestrian safety at local schools, and SAFE KIDS Buckle Up, which helps promote child passenger safety issues.
Community Education
Our staff provides injury prevention education programs to parent and community groups at a wide variety of venues. Also, we offer Safe Sitter babysitting classes in partnership with local fire departments and car seat education. Through our coordination of SAFE KIDS Coalitions in three counties and the work we do there, we are responsible for the implementation of several hundred safety related educational opportunities each year. We have safety specialists available to speak to your community group. For more information, call 253-403-1234.
