All children have the right to a healthy environment and caregivers must also be trained and capable of caring for children in day care centres. This study aims to identify caregivers' knowledge that affects safety and injury prevention awareness among parents. A cross sectional questionnaire study design was carried out among 115 participants predominantly south indian population. Simple random sampling method was used to gather information using validated self constructed, self administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed by SPSS using descriptive statistics and chi square tests.
