Learning Ecosystem

All children deserve the chance to reach their full potential. That’s why PBS KIDS aims to support learning for young children across America. PBS KIDS and local stations across the country support the entire ecosystem in which children learn and grow – including the grown-ups in children’s lives - providing resources accessible anytime and anywhere. This community-based approach is grounded in research that shows that when parents or teachers are engaged, kids’ learning outcomes improve.

  • Daniel Tiger's Neighborhod

    Social-emotional development and academic success are much more related than many people think. We often hear talk about the academic curriculum or the social-emotional approach to early education as if these are two separate things. Research tells us that for children to be successful in school, they must be mentally healthy and they must have good interpersonal skills. Emotional development skills include the ability to regulate behavior, to manage feelings, to feel competent in completing tasks, and confident in trying new things.
