May is officially National Water Safety Month!


Here is some shocking news for parents of small children: a swimming pool is 100 times more likely to kill a child than a gun. Drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional death for children under the age of 14. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 4.

According to these statistics from Life Saver Pool Fence and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an average of 390 children drown each year in their own backyards.

A pool fence from Life Saver offers a solution to this problem. Below is an infographic with some fast tips on how to keep your children safe this summer: 

Life Saver is deeply committed to summer safety beyond simply distributing pool fencing. It is the only pool fence company recognized by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Pool Safely Campaign as a Safety Leader, an extremely high honor bestowed only upon to organizations that make a serious contribution to pool safety efforts nationwide. Life Saver is also a partner of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance. 

Life Saver's President Eric Lupton has dedicated his life to keeping children safe and is an expert in the field. Lupton was recently elected as Vice President for the National Drowning Prevention Alliance. He would be more than happy to offer his expertise on this matter.

Tricks To Finding A Daycare Space

I get calls everyday for people looking for a daycare spot and it is exhausting to turn people away everyday. So what is the trick to getting into a daycare if there is a shortage of childcare workers in your area? If you are trying to find childcare in the Okanagan it can be an overwhelming task. We have a huge shortage of childcare workers and our city is growing at a rapid rate. So how do you  find a great daycare space  for your family and what should you look for?  When searching for a daycare you want to ensure it’s the right fit for you and your family because this person is essentially helping to raise your child.

What works for them may clash with what you want for your child. Plus you want your child to have fun at daycare while learning about life so look for the best fit for that important factor.
