Ensuring kids’ safety in vehicles

Our Vehicle Safety Program offers car seats and booster seats to all families. As a certified car safety seat organization, we are dedicated to ensuring kids’ safety in vehicles.

Massachusetts state law requires all children riding in passenger vehicles to be in a federally approved child passenger restraint until they are eight years old or over 57 inches tall. After outgrowing booster seats, children must wear seat belts.

Contact us to reserve a safety seat and installation session.

Supporting Kids’ Safety

Anti-bullying

Children Across America’s anti-bullying program teaches kids that bullying is NOT about the victim, but the bully. Through anti-bullying and “in their shoes” classes, in partnership with local police departments and school districts, children learn about bullying and why it is wrong. They come to understand the impact bullying has on others. When kids have good self-esteem, they learn better and are more productive members of society. Together, we can break the cycle of bullying.

Children Across America has a long history of anti-bullying efforts, having served on Governor Deval Patrick’s anti-bullying committee to help develop laws.

What people say about us

My son was failing second grade. He was getting Ds and Fs in reading and math as English is not our first language. I took him to Children Across America's Summer STREAM Club and he loved it. He started understanding English and math while having fun. The new school year, he is getting Bs in both subjects and is no longer in ELL. Now he wants to be a teacher. Thank you so much for all you did and you never asked me for anything. You changed my sons life.

What people say about us

I am a 1st grade teacher in town and I know when a kid has been in your summer program. They are prepared for school and way ahead of the rest of the kids. It's also very helpful that they have a new backpack with the supplies they need to start the year.

What people say about us

Children Across America has helped hundreds of children struggling in school to develop their English skills and improve their test grades. Their services are free, and the kids seem to enjoy the process. The staff is wonderful and very good with the children. As a parent, I appreciate their "Safe Harbor" policy, which requires at least two adults to supervise each child. This gives me peace of mind, knowing that the children's safety is their foremost concern.
