A safe place to grow.

Confidently create a safe environment for your little one with the guidance of internationally recognized child safety expert, Holly Choi.

 

The Essential Guide to Baby and Toddler Home Safety is a comprehensive video “encyclopedia” for all things home safety for families with a baby or toddler.

If you have ever wanted to borrow the brain of baby and toddler safety expert, Holly Choi (@safebeginnings), to keep your little one safe: now you can! Holly’s goal was to create a course that caregivers could work through to solve a number of challenges around the home from a babyproofing perspective, and easy strategies to prevent serious injury.

She provides you with all the information so that you can make solid choices for your own family, choices that fit your personal risk tolerance.
