PBS Launches PBS Kids Play Website
Posted on January 16, 2008
PBS is opening the beta test for a new Internet-based educational service called PBS Kids Play. PBS says the website is designed to provide children ages 3 to 6 with a comprehensive early childhood curriculum. PBS Kids Play will be offered as a subscription service later this year. It uses interactive games and activities to provide a personalized learning experience at home.
The website's curriculum covers skill areas in math, science, language, literacy, creativity, healthy development, and social studies. Parents can read the learning objectives and instructions for each activity. The site also provides a progress chart that helps parents see how each child is advancing through the curriculum, including an indicator of how far the child has progressed in each skill area.
"A critical mass of families now has broadband Internet access and that creates an opportunity to take online learning to a whole new level for a new generation -- and that's exactly what PBS Kids Play is designed to do," said Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President, PBS Kids. "PBS Kids Play is a natural extension of the PBS mission to advance children's learning with new, innovative media approaches."
