Most preschoolers learn fire and life safety by:

Preschoolers typically learn best through hands-on experiences, which is reflected in the choice of seeing and doing. This age group is highly experiential, meaning they absorb information more effectively when they can actively participate in the learning process rather than passively receiving information. For example, engaging children in fire drills, showing them how to “stop, drop, and roll,” or allowing them to practice calling 911 can make the concepts of fire and life safety more tangible and memorable.

Learning through seeing and doing not only helps preschoolers remember the information better but also promotes skill development, enhances their understanding of safety practices, and encourages them to take part in safety behaviors in real-life situations. This method caters to their developmental stage, which favors kinesthetic and visual learning.
