What Are Community Helpers?

Community helpers are the people in our neighborhoods who work hard to keep us safe, healthy, educated, and cared for. From firefighters and doctors to farmers and mail carriers, these everyday heroes play a vital role in our communities. Teaching young children about community helpers builds vocabulary, social awareness, critical thinking, and a sense of gratitude for the people around them.

What Is Inside This Unit Study?

This 111-page printable unit study covers 15 community helpers in depth. Each helper has its own dedicated set of activity pages so children can really dive deep into learning about each profession.

The 15 community helpers included are:

🚒 Firefighter
