Pajama Program and PBS KIDS Sprout Tucks Kids In
For most of us, putting our little ones to bed is a no-brainer. Sure, we may stray from the bedtime routine on occasion and there are often times when we may find a little one sleeping beside us in the middle of the night, but there is usually no anxiety involved. With a bed, warm pajamas, a favorite lovey all at the ready, off your preschooler can happily go to slumberland.
Unfortunately, for some, bedtime is anything but worry-free. According to the Pajama Program, there are thousands of children nationwide who are not able to enjoy the simple pleasure of a good night's sleep. Some are in shelters and orphanages, some have been abandoned and many are shuttled between temporary facilities.
And now that the weather is getting colder, we have entered what the Pajama Program calls "The Danger Season" -- six months between October and March when temperatures drop where many kids find themselves without warm sleeping clothing. The group has created a Facebook page, where users are able to donate to the program, as well as share their favorite bedtime stories and routines.
In an effort to increase awareness, preschool channel PBS KIDS Sprouthas launched the second annual "The Great Sprout Tuck-In." The network will match donations of pajamas and books for up to 100,000 children through September 30, 2010.
