At-Home Learning with Nine PBS Nine PBS has always been an innovator in educational television. We were founded in 1954 to provide public education and encourage dialogue on topics that affect civic life. We remain true to that mission today.

Educator and Caregiver Toolkit PBS KIDS is the number one educational media brand and Nine’s online toolkit streamlines those resources for educators and caregivers to help kids learn and thrive. The toolkit includes a schedule of trusted PBS KIDs shows, along with learning goals and related activities and resources. The Educator and Caregiver Toolkit was created with guidance from education leaders across the region and includes broadcast, online, and mobile resources, as well as learning tools and tips that can be text messaged to phones.

Nine PBS broadcasts PBS KIDS shows on two channels, Nine PBS and Nine PBS KIDS—the only free, over-the-air 24/7 television service for children in our region. The broadcast and online streaming service ensure high-quality, educationally based programming is available to every child, anytime and anywhere.

“[PBS KIDS] resources are so valuable during uncertain and stressful times. ...The TV shows are educational, but the activities take learning even further!” —Dytania Harris, mom and educator

After watching Let's Go Luna and learning about the U.S. and China, Dytania Harris’ daughters, Madison (left) and Alysia (right), discovered the continent of Asia and made flags of both countries.

Our Region’s Largest Classroom! Our Teaching in Room 9 on-air classroom series provides prekindergarteners with an hour of quality instructions in the fundamentals of reading and math, letters and sounds, friends and feelings, art, movement, and science. Watch live or stream on ninepbs.org, YouTube, and the PBS Video App.

For many families, distance learning can be overwhelming. As a service to the entire community, Nine PBS is broadcasting teacher-led lessons weekdays.

Through our on-air lessons and the online toolkit for caregivers, Nine PBS is making an impact on our region’s early learners, today and for years to come.
