Ontario Sisters Join Forces with Kidproof Canada®

PRLog (Press Release) - May 3, 2010 - Lisa and Linnea Kaplaniak have come together to change the way people think about child safety. “We want to reach as many families as possible, to prepare and educate them and to change the 'old' way of thinking,” they say.

Kidproof Canada® offers proactive and preventative child safety education programs, and one of their key messages is that parents don't need to use scare tactics to keep their kids safe. “After our kids took their first Kidproof course we realized the importance of what they had just learnt, and their excitement and eagerness to teach us inspired us to look into Kidproof Canada® further,” Lisa says.

Lisa and Linnea will be delivering Kidproof's famous child safety education programs in their hometown of Hamilton, Ontario. The sisters were born and raised there, and know the area and the people well. “We have both always been employed in a service industry and understand the importance of providing the best service and product possible,” Linnea says.

Kidproof Canada's® child safety education franchises are all run by partners who are committed to increasing awareness throughout their communities. Kidproof Canada® franchise locations provide trusted safety programs for children between the ages of five and fifteen, parents and educators.

Parents and educators can be confident that Kidproof always offers comprehensive child safety information through a number of courses that are relevant in today's changing world, including BullyProofing, Never Bee Lost, and Home Alone.

“As mothers we have always believed the more you know, the better your decisions will be,” Lisa and Linnea say. “We enjoy getting involved and helping our children learn and grow in their day to day lives.”

And, the sisters want to help all local children grow! “We want to build a reputation in Hamilton as people who provide honest, helpful information and can be trusted in the community – we want to be the 'go to' people!” they say.
