Kansas City families have another free resource coming up this week as the Kansas City Health Department prepares to host its next round of infant safe sleep classes on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
The city lists the class from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kansas City Health Department, 2400 Troost Ave., giving parents and caregivers a full-day window to connect with the program.
The class is built around a simple but important goal: helping families learn safer sleep habits for newborns and infants.
The Health Department says the program focuses on practices that help reduce the risk of sleep-related infant deaths, with one of the central reminders being that babies sleep safest on their backs in a crib or Pack ’n Play.
What makes the class more practical than a basic information handout is that it also comes with material support. The city says participants can receive a free Pack ’n Play while supplies last, which gives families a direct way to put safe-sleep guidance into practice at home.
The program is specifically for parents and caregivers in Kansas City, Missouri, keeping the focus on local families who may need both education and equipment.

Families who want to attend are asked to schedule an appointment either through the city’s online form or by calling 816-513-6147.
After submitting the form, someone from the program will follow up to confirm the appointment. Questions can also be directed to Aviance Webb through the contact information listed by the city.
For Kansas City parents, especially those preparing for a newborn or caring for a very young infant, the class offers something useful with local guidance, no cost, and a chance to leave with an item many families need.
In a city where public-health stories often get less attention, this is the kind of practical initiative from the government that can still matter in a very real way to the people it is meant to reach.
