Charlie's House is just a wonderful place. It's mission is so important and a tour there is a must for families. It is so well done and highly recommend the free tours for any group or just on your own. They do such a great service for our community.
Charlie's House is an organization with a unique mission to educate the community on the everyday dangers inside of our homes. I had the pleasure of volunteering at Charlie's House for one year. The staff made me feel like a valued member of the organization, often asking for my opinion on how to improve their volunteer opportunities and further serve as a resource for the community. I was also offered the chance to serve as a leader on several projects and as a member of a committee during my year of service. Charlie's House is an organization that is destined to make an impact on their community and volunteers!
Charlie’s House is amazing! I love the mission of educating parents, grandparents and all caregivers about important safety issues. The house itself is beautiful and extremely helpful in learning hazards in all homes and how to prevent accidents. I have enjoyed volunteering at Charlie’s House and look forward to helping more in the future!
Charlie's House has such an incredible mission and does a phenomenal job educating the community and advocating for child safety. Their staff is so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate, and this organization is making such an impact!
I first heard about Charlie’s house when my daughter was starting to crawl. My daughter’s teacher provided me with a really nice guide called (how to child proof your house). A while after that we visited the demonstration house, and we were so impressed on how explicit is everything. We learned a lot of things we did not know about how to make our home safe for our two years old daughter. They also provided us with many safety items to help us prevent accidents at home.
This initiative is amazing.
Previously I utilized Charlie's House to help provide direct educational training opportunities for staff as well as give out child proofing-safety supplies to home visitors and families. Charlie's House is now involved in a safe sleep, safe babies project initiative and home visitors and families in the community access both the physical and virtual Charlie's House to walk through rooms and understand how to ensure safety based on use and function of each room, as well as continuing to provide training opportunities to staff and community. Charlie's House consistently puts out safety information via social media and is always willing to partner together on both small and large scales to reach more families and promote safety in our community.
Melissa gave me a tour of Charlie's House and I was so impressed. I really appreciated all the intention that went behind sharing ways to keep babies, toddlers, and kids safe at home. It was a really eye opening experience for me. I am very thankful for this organization and the way they educate the public all with the heart of keeping more kids safe.
As president of Grandparents for Gun Safety, I I have had the opportunity to work with the staff at Charlie's House from the early stages. They welcomed our organization and include our information about safe gun storage in their videos and materials. Charlie's House is a beautiful and well-thought out facility with excellent displays and videos in each room of the house to identify the potential dangers that exist for infants and curious and active young children . They perform a wonderful service to the community by raising awareness of the potential for accidents in the home and offering solutions and materials to avoid them.
Very informative and extremely helpful! Melissa Roach is easy to get ahold of and talk to about concerns and is available for questions and resources. Parent's left the presentation with a new perspective on child safety and were thoroughly educated on how to equip their homes.
My program staff and I went to tour Charlie's House on May 24, 2022. What a great experience it was! The staff at Charlie's house do a great job of displaying household hazards for infants and children in more of an interactive type environment. They also have lots of resources for families seeking ideas or gadgets to keep their children safe. I highly recommend a tour.

Hope Haven is proud to partner with Charlies House to help us prevent accidents and injuries to the children we serve at our domestic and sexual violence emergency shelter.
Charlie's House does a wonderful job of showing families and caregivers where the hazards are in their home and the simple steps they can take to keep their children safe from serious injuries. They are able to reach families through the demonstration house and virtually through their website, and they share important safety tips on social media which are easy to share with others who may be visiting or caring for your child. Safe Kids Kansas is so appreciative of the live-saving work of Charlie's House.
