Children have a lot to learn and educational programs can help them learn important skills that help prepare them for school and for life. A program's language, situations, ideas, and actions should be familiar to young children so they can follow the story. Children need to see characters using their words to communicate, cooperate, and compromise to solve problems and conflicts. Look for programs that show diverse people in positive realistic situations, whether they are people with disabilities, from different parts of the world, or different gender, ages or races.
Children often imitate their favorite television characters.
Choose programs that feature characters that act as you would like your children to act and who treat other as you would like your children to be treated. KCTS devotes over 60 hour each week to quality, education children's programs that help your child be Ready to Learn at school.
