Ready To Learn
Ready To Learn is a joint effort between Educational Services and PBS Kids to provide on-air, online and print resources designed to help parents, caregivers and educators get young children ready for success in school! We do this through children’s programming, workshops for parents and educators, children’s books and literacy resources, as well as, web sites for children and adults. The core of Ready To Learn is a full day of non-violent, commercial-free, educational children’s television programming.
