SHORT TAKES Today’s KET: Serving all Kentuckians March is always a special time for KET, a time when viewers connect with us and demonstrate their support of the programming they value throughout the year. As a grandmother to five preschool-aged children, PBS Kids programming is a constant presence with my family. Just like you, we count on Daniel Tiger, The Cat in the Hat, and Curious George for safe, nonviolent, commercial-free, educational experiences on television and online. When you watch KET, you’ve probably seen “…and to Viewers Like You” signaling the appreciation for viewers’ contributions that help make programs possible. Contributions from individuals support the purchase of programs that you and your family enjoy — from popular children’s series to “Downton Abbey” and “Poldark” on Masterpiece, Antiques Roadshow, Nova and Nature, and more. We purchase these programs from PBS and other sources, making them available to you and your neighbors. KET strives to provide access to the best in arts and culture, history and heritage, and educational programming. So, this month, during TeleFund, we invite you to show your support for the programs you and your family enjoy. It truly is viewers like you who provide these programs each and every day on KET. Thank you for your continued support and help in making it all possible. Sincerely, Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO 22

KET helps childcare workers prepare at-risk children for kindergarten As many as 50 percent of Kentucky preschoolers are unprepared for kindergarten — and kindergarten readiness is a powerful indicator of whether a child succeeds in school. In response, KET has developed the Everyday Learning training program for childcare providers. In January, more than 60 preschool directors and caregivers from low-income neighborhoods in Louisville took advantage of free early childhood training offered by KET. Last year, KET provided 210 courses and training events to 4,300 childcare workers and 4,000 parents, impacting an estimated 90,000 children. KET’s Everyday Learning offers the tools and knowledge caregivers need to ensure they are preparing children with the skills they will need to suceed in kindergarten and beyond. Each educator leaves a training session with a curriculum toolkit, conveniently organized in binders, offering lesson plans and training materials. “Going through and doing lesson plans is a lot of work,” said an excited Lana Albin, a caregiver at the MiniVersity in downtown Louisville who attended the January session. “This is all put together.” Another caregiver, Charity Johnson, has experienced many preschool caregiver training programs. “I would definitely give it a 10,” she said. Everyday Learning Training provided by KET is made possible in part through a grant from the James Graham Brown and PNC Foundations and in partnership with the National Center for Families Learning and Metro United Way. Last year, KET provided 210 courses and training events to 4,300 childcare workers and 4,000 parents, impacting an estimated 90,000 children.
