Water safety needs to be a priority at all times, as drowning is the number one cause of unintentional death for kids 1-4.

Inside a hot car, children can get heatstroke within minutes, as their body temperatures rise 2 to 3 times faster than an adult's. This summer, be aware of hot cars and keeping kids safe from heat stroke.We love our crew!! Scenes from our Staff & Family Day for all 3 of our offices at Frames & Games.
