TD ThinkFirst For Kids is ThinkFirst Canada's school-based curriculum program for children in grades K-8. Designed as a teacher's resource, TD ThinkFirst For Kids meets the curriculum requirements in all Canadian provinces and territories and is endorsed by Curriculum Services Canada. This program was developed by a multi-disciplinary team including teachers, curriculum experts, doctors, and neuroscientists and teaches children how to think first and play safely to prevent brain and spinal cord injuries. In 2007 this program received the Safe Communities Sean Kells Award for Community Safety.
