At First Class CDC, we know that sometimes our families and neighbors can use a little extra support, and our community is full of wonderful resources ready to help.

If you or someone you know could benefit from access to local food pantries, meal programs, or community resources, Central Texas Food Bank has compiled a list of nearby locations offering assistance in the area. These programs are open to everyone and are here to make sure our community stays nourished and cared for.

🌙 It’s Time for Bed! 🛏️

A good night’s sleep is essential for growing minds and bodies—but winding down at the end of the day, especially when the sun is still shining, can be tricky for little ones.

At our early childhood education center, we know that bedtime routines aren’t always smooth sailing. That’s why we emphasize the power of consistency and calming strategies to help children ease into rest—whether it’s naptime or nighttime.

We love using resources from Sesame Street to help children navigate big feelings, practice calming techniques, and tackle bedtime challenges with a little fun and imagination.

Check out the tips and activities below to help make bedtime more peaceful for your child (and maybe even get yourself a little extra rest too!).

Soothing, predictable, nap and bedtime routines can help children settle down for rest.
