The Institute for Childhood Preparedness

The Institute for Childhood Preparedness is excited to announce the launch of our new online training courses! The first course is a FREE 30-minute introduction course that focuses on the basics of active shooter preparedness and response.

In September 2017, two category 5 hurricanes struck the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) within two weeks. The islands of St. Thomas and St. John were hit by both Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, while St. Croix was hit by Hurricane Maria.

As experts in early childhood, we are routinely asked to endorse products that would provide aid in an active shooter situation. One of the items we have repeatedly been asked to endorse is a bulletproof backpack.
