Early Childhood
Our Early Childhood program is dedicated to improving the school readiness and educational success of young children through the use of public broadcasting and workshops for parents, childcare providers and early childhood professionals. We provide on air, online and print resources that assist parents and early childhood educators to prepare children for school success. Annually, WVIZ/PBS conducts numerous hands-on professional development workshops where participants receive free educational materials and resources including the Ohio Department of Education’s Early Learning Contents Standards and the Ohio Infant Toddler Guidelines. Additionally, each year hundreds of books are distributed to children that would not normally have books to call their own. Funding for the Early Childhood outreach department comes from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Child Care Bureau, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, BP and KCET A Place of Our Own/Los Ninos en Su Casa.
