We have a variety of resources, including family resources and parenting resources.
Early Childhood Texas
Early Childhood Texas aims to provide families with young children easy access to Texas state agency programs, services, and resources.
State agency partners include Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Education Agency, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and Texas Department of State Health Services.
A team of staff from each agency has guided the development of this website with direct input from Texas parents and families. The website is managed by the inter-agency team and funded by the Texas Workforce Commission.

Resources for New Parents
Safe to Sleep Infant Practices
The Safe to Sleep campaign, formerly known as the Back to Sleep campaign, focuses on actions you and others can take to help your baby sleep safely and to reduce your baby’s risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related causes of infant death.
Texas Home Visiting
Texas Home Visiting helps good people be great parents.
We help parents by matching them with someone who can answer questions, give advice, and recommend services. This helpful person lives in your community and visits you in your home or another convenient location. We call this person a “home visitor.”
