The approach is to encourage viewing to not more than 10.5 hours perweek. It allows parents or teachers to plan beforehand through the use of segments of programming. Television is truned off and children are presented with activities enriching the environment to bring children to Kindergarten ready to learn. This is a multi-sensory approach to learning. KVPT uses the PBS Learning Triangle, View, Do, and Read, as we help parents and tachers build on program themes in the home and classroom.
Workshops encourage balanced viewing time and viewing actively.
Ready to Learn has been created especially for parents of preschoolers and child care providers to help encourage a child's natural curiosity and love of elarning. These workshops are designed to train adults to teach children the basic skills that will help them enter school ready to learn and succeed in life. The following workshops will be presented to parents, caregivers and providers, some of which are presented in both English and Spanish. Workshops are 4.5 hours in length. These workshops provide participants with notebooks, curriculum, idea books and some have videos to use.
