Home accidents are an important cause of injury and death during the first year because of infant’s rapid advances in motor and sensory development. Along with overwhelming, curiosity about their surroundings. Parents and other caregivers must consistently be alert to the potential dangers that exist in the environment.

To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge of mothers regarding prevention of home accidents among children (1 to 5years) of age. To explore the association between the selected demographic variables and the knowledge score of mothers regarding prevention of home accidents among children (1 to 5years) of age. In this study, Pre-experimental research approach and one group Pre-test posttest research design was adopted. Study included the 60 mothers who have children up to the age group of 1 to 5 years.
