Our informative program is available to elementary schools, free of charge. The Foundation presents two short puppet shows, written by the Community Health Department of Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, focusing on simple, realistic tips for children that educate and empower young minds. Each puppet presentation is 10 minutes long with a brief, live action self-defense demonstration and awareness activity. The child safety presentation specializes in packing vital information into a short series of segments. The program utilizes puppetry from "On Applebee Pond", developed by the Mercer County Behavioral Health Commission.

Puppet Show #1: What To Do If A Stranger Approaches. The gang at Applebee Pond faces a dilemma when a stranger approaches one of the kids looking for a lost puppy. This skit teaches important basic safety concepts to enlighten children to the dangers that exist when dealing with a stranger.

Self-Defense Demonstration: We present a non-threatening, live demonstration to improve children’s awareness skills and provide a safe, easy-to-use self-defense move for children to use to get away from danger.

Puppet Show #2: What To Do If You Get Lost At The Mall. The gang at Applebee Pond visits again to tell a tale of danger at the mall. Young Freddie is separated from his parents and tells the gang how he found his way. This skit teaches children how to cope with the situation and where to go for help.
