Kentucky 4-H offers resources to help youth development educators create and engage young people in fun, age-appropriate, experiential learning. 4-H also provides programs designed to help address the critical issues that young people face during out-of-school time. Extension also offers access to research, educational resources, and training and events to assist you and the people you work with. The six core curriculum areas: Animal Science, Communications, Family and Consumer Science, Health, Leadership and Natural Resources are KERA linked to assist educators in reaching state mandated goals.
The Code Name: Home Alone Curriculum was developed by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service State Latch Key Quick Response Team to address the issue of children being alone without an adult present. The curriculum focuses on children and parents learning about issues related to child self-care, safety and overall well-being when children are home alone and/ or with siblings without adult supervision. It stresses family communication through individual, group/classroom, parent and child activities, and parent newsletters. It is designed to be used in the classroom, and in 4-H groups, youth groups, and family groups.
