North Texas, August 2025 – As school bells ring across North Texas, Snellings Law, a trusted personal injury firm in North Texas, is urging families and childcare providers to put safety first this back-to-school season.

Whether children are headed to daycare, preschool, or elementary school, the transition from summer to structured routines brings a wave of new risks—from chaotic drop-off lines to crowded playgrounds and changing supervision schedules. Snellings Law is reminding the community that vigilance saves lives.

Back-to-school Safety Reminders

“This time of year brings excitement, but it also brings increased responsibility for everyone involved in a child’s care,” says Scott Snellings. “When caregivers, drivers, and institutions prioritize safety, we protect the well-being of our children—and their future.”

To help families navigate the school year safely, Snellings Law’s team of childcare injury attorneys recommends a few essential reminders:

  • Slow down and stay alert in school zones and parking lots
  • Ensure communication with teachers and caregivers about health needs and emergency contacts
  • Review safety procedures at childcare facilities and ask about training and protocols
  • Talk to your child about safe behaviors, boundaries, and how to speak up if something feels wrong

Snellings Law is committed to holding institutions accountable when safety is compromised, but their greatest mission is to help prevent injuries before they happen. They offer a free Back-to-School Transportation Toolkit on their website to help families prepare for the new school year.

Snellings Law’s team of childcare injury attorneys is encouraging parents to take proactive steps to help prevent injuries and protect their children:

  • Visit the facility – Walk through the daycare or school before the year begins. Look for secure entryways, clean and hazard-free spaces, and trained staff.
  • Ask the right questions – Inquire about staff-to-child ratios, emergency protocols, supervision practices, and how health or allergy needs are handled.
  • Teach safety habits – Encourage your child to recognize unsafe situations, understand boundaries, and speak up if they feel uncomfortable or scared.
  • Stay involved – Maintain open communication with teachers, bus drivers, and caregivers. Review safety procedures regularly and advocate for improvements when needed.

“Every child deserves to learn, grow, and play in a safe environment,” says Snellings. “We’re proud to stand with North Texas families—not just in the courtroom, but as advocates for safer schools, stronger oversight, and a better future.”
