The Institute for Childhood Preparedness has partnered with Signs That Save to help educate parents, early childhood professionals, caregivers, and the general public about protecting children and preventing unnecessary tragedies from occurring. Participants will learn about the importance of visual cues and the science behind how they influence behavior and work to prevent childhood injury and death. We will also explore the importance of visual cues and how young children use them to perceive, learn, and form routines.
Meet Kimberly Beaman Rios From Signs That Save
I enjoyed speaking with Kimberly Beaman Rios and her husband, Art, to learn more about Signs That Save and what drove them to start their company. Kimberly said, "In July of 2020, we launched our company and began collaborating with professionals to provide the most relevant and up to date resources and prevention on key safety topics." Kimberly and Art's mission is to protect children by advocating for their emotional and physical safety through education and the use of strong visual cues.
Kimberly shared that, “Due to unprecedented times, we have observed the need for more layers of prevention, and we decided to focus primarily on home safety. More families are at home navigating life, with increasing demand with work and home responsibilities. We also feel there is a strong need for increased vigilance at schools in terms of safety.” At Signs That Save, Kimberly and her husband Art focus on the heart of the matter. It’s their objective to support parents just as much as they share in their visual signs. As part of Kim's work, she has spoken on several podcasts, most recently as a guest on the Child Safety Source podcast. She also supports and is involved with many advocacies and mental health-focused groups.

The Orlando Magic did what they had to do on Monday, agreeing to contract extensions with both Jonathan Isaac and Markelle Fultz. With both players heading into their fourth year in the league, they were eligible for rookie extensions, and the Magic got them both done https://www.storeorlando.com/Jonathan_Isaac_Face_Mask-109, keeping each out of restricted free agency next summer. That likely favors the Magic, who coulde been at a slight disadvantage to keep both due to the amount of teams who currently project to have cap space next summer. That being said, both deals come with some inherent risk for the Magic. Fultz, who after two rocky years in Philadelphia, had a breakout year of sorts in Orlando, averaging 12. 1 p…
