Child Safety Tips:
From the Northwood Community Apartments brochure "Keeping it Clean and Safe"
- Young children and toddlers should never be left at home alone, or left to play alone in your yard, even for a short time.
- Never leave young children unattended in second-story rooms with open windows.
- Do not allow children to climb on windows and/or push on window screens. Screens are primarily intended to keep pests out. They are not designed to withstand the weight of a child.
- Never allow children to use a wading or swimming pool without constant adult supervision. Never leave wading pools containing water unattended.
- Do not allow children to play in or near parking lots/roadways.
- Keep all household poisons and medicines in their original, labeled, child-resistant containers and out of reach of children.
