Holiday Safety Information for Dayhomes

Holiday Safety Information for Dayhomes

Document Type:

The Holiday Safety Advent Challenge was created as a simple way to keep safety top of mind during this busy season. The challenge offered one small, daily safety prompt, encouraging reflection and practical action without adding to providers’ workloads.

This document includes the full set of Holiday Safety Advent prompts and can be used as a reference or revisited during future holiday seasons. Providers may choose to work through the prompts at their own pace, use them as discussion starters, or incorporate them into seasonal safety planning.

The goal of this resource is to support thoughtful, proactive safety practices while still allowing space for the joy and magic of the holidays.
