Pajama Program

Every child is special. As the Bill Arp Elementary School in Georgia knows, new pajamas and storybooks can help children see that! 🤗 #PajamaProgram #GoodNightsAreGoodDays #Sleep #ChildrensHealth #School #BedtimeRoutine #HealthySleep #Pajamas #Nonprofit #BeyondBedtime #TomorrowStartsTonight

Every child should have a cozy pair of pajamas and an engaging storybook to help them drift off to sleep. But in reality, many children experiencing poverty don’t have access to these tools that make them feel safe and secure before bedtime. Will you help change this? ⭐ Become a Pajama Program supporter to bring equitable access to healthy sleep for all children! Donate any amount each month to provide children with pajamas, storybooks, teddy bears, and more: https://lnkd.in/gdCJaEg2 #PajamaProgram #GoodNightsAreGoodDays #Sleep #ChildrensHealth #HealthySleep #Nonprofit #BeyondBedtime #TomorrowStartsTonight #EndPoverty #Pajamas

KIDS’ SLEEP TIP: Wind down with a bedtime story. 🛏️📚 Sharing a story with a guardian or caregiver before bed not only boosts literacy, but also helps children relax and get ready for sleep. Plus, it provides valuable bonding time at the end of the day! #PajamaProgram #GoodNightsAreGoodDays #Sleep #HealthySleep #ChildrensHealth #SleepTips #Kids #Parenting #BeyondBedtime #TomorrowStartsTonight #BedtimeStory #BedtimeRoutine

Children experiencing poverty are disproportionately less likely to have access to the tools and resources that promote healthy sleep. As a result, they can fall behind in school and struggle to regulate their emotions. 😕 You’re changing that. To date, you’ve helped provide over 8 million pajamas and 4 million storybooks to children across the country—tools to help them get a good night’s sleep. ✨ Thank you for making a difference! #PajamaProgram #GoodNightsAreGoodDays #Sleep #ChildrensHealth #HealthySleep #Nonprofit #BeyondBedtime #TomorrowStartsTonight #EndPoverty #Pajamas

We’re looking for 145 more teachers across the U.S. to run a pajama drive in their classrooms to reach our big goal to provide 50,000 pajamas and books to children this holiday season. Will you (or a teacher you know) be there for children experiencing poverty, homelessness, or family instability? As part of our annual Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive, each set of new pajamas donated by a student will be MATCHED with a storybook from Scholastic (up to 100,000 books)! 👕📚 Give children in your community the bedtime essentials they need to sleep deeply and dream big.

Check out our new blog post to find out how a recent Pajama Program workshop in the Bronx proved that children as young as 2nd grade aren’t getting enough sleep—and are suffering the physical, emotional, and academic consequences. 🥱 This is especially true for children of color. A study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that Black and low-income children sleep about 30 minutes less per night than their white, higher-income peers. Our team hosted the workshop in English and Spanish for parents and students of Rafael Hernandez Dual Language Magnet School. They shared ideas and strategies for building a more restful bedtime routine. Each family also took home a storybook featuring a diverse range of characters and authors! 📚 Here’s to a world where ALL children wake up fresh and energized, ready to pursue their dreams.

A cozy pair of pajamas and an engaging storybook are the building blocks of a healthy bedtime routine. 👕💤 These small comforts can make a big difference. It’s a pleasure to partner with organizations like the South Carolina Youth Advocate Program to support children in new foster care families! #PajamaProgram #GoodNightsAreGoodDays #Sleep #ChildrensHealth #FosterCare #HealthySleep #Pajamas #Nonprofit #BeyondBedtime #TomorrowStartsTonight

KIDS’ SLEEP TIP: Encourage positive feelings around bedtime. Try to make it a consistent, positive, calming experience. Comforting activities like taking a warm bath or sharing a story help children associate bedtime with relaxation and safety. As a result, they’ll look forward to their bedtime routine… rather than resist it! #PajamaProgram #GoodNightsAreGoodDays #Sleep #HealthySleep #ChildrensHealth #SleepTips #Kids #Parenting #BeyondBedtime #TomorrowStartsTonight #BedtimeStory #BedtimeRoutine
