Four Solinger Kitas - the band of knives at the town hall, Opderhüh in Aufderhöhe, the Ohligser Räuberhöhle and the energetic gnomes Mittelgönrath were pleased about new safety vests. Jürgen Dahlmann, chairman of the traffic guard Solingen presented on Tuesday each facility a set of 30 reflective vests for the children and two vests for the educators. Julia Jarras, the head of the Kita Klingenbande, had appealed to the employees of the traffic police and they had responded promptly.
Vest for children and educators
About three years ago, all Solingen kindergartens and elementary schools were equipped by the Verkehrswacht Solingen, which is always committed to the safety (not only) of children in road traffic, each with a class set of safety vests. With this small but valuable contribution, they also supported this time. The vests remain in the facilities and can be worn on excursions.
Before distributing, Jürgen Dahlmann wanted to know from the children why one should wear such vests with reflective tapes. Of course, the kids had the right answer: "So that the motorists can see us better." Clothing with reflective materials is visible at around 150 meters. Practical side effect from the point of view of the educators: When they are traveling with the children, for example in the zoo, the little ones can be seen much more easily because of the bright yellow color.

The garments had to be tried on immediately. The little ones were very happy about their new vests. The mother of little Thomas from the daycare center Opderhüh was also happy. "When I drive Thomas to the daycare center in the morning, I always find out how many of the children are hard to see." She praised the members of the public security team for taking time out to give them the necessary insight.
