Best Answer To Preschool Question

Well, Corners should be covered on tables, fireplaces, etc. (they have foam corners you can buy to put on). If not, children can bump their heads. Locked doors, chests, closets. (locking devices can also be found in stores.) if not, they can get into chemicals, or pinch their fingers in hinges, etc. Small things should be put up so they dont choke Large items such as book shelves, dressers, ect. should be hooked to the wall so they dont tip over. (found in store) kids have recently been crushed by things tipping over Gates so children dont fall down stairs Outlets covered so kids cant get electricuted. (also keep cords out of the way) Cords on windows to open/close blinds should be tied up so children can not choke. No pillows/animals in infants cribs. increased cause of crib death. Hope i helped!

Answer 1

plugs or covers for all electrical outlets (if the children can pull them out -- they could put them in their mouths) rubberized type of corners for all sharp edges and corners on furniture locks for all cabinets containing dangerous items -- things such as cleaning supplies. turn down the temperature of the hot water -- usually easily done on the water heater. clear away all nick knacks etc. and certainly all glass if a stove has knobs to burners on the front (I think this is only old stoves), remove the knobs so the stove cannot be turned on accidentally make sure any toy boxes have slow closing lids
