Make Summer Fun with KLRN

Does the heat have you already climbing the walls during the day with your little ones? Whether you are family or a childcare provider, KLRN has an answer. Everyone can turn on the television to KLRN to find Sesame Street, but we invite you to discover some of the other resources KLRN and PBS provide to help the development of young children?

“KLRN-kids” is the answer! This is a multi-page website, on the KLRN website, that provides the information and resources every parent and child needs to get through these long hot summer days. Introduce your kids to KLRN kids Club, for $60 you can sign your family up to enjoy safe, fun, educational interactive activities online and offline events made just for them. There are other benefits too, so be sure to check it out.

And, if that is not enough there is PBS Kid’s Play, with more educational, but fun, games, videos, reading adventures, and printable art activites galore. PBS has a Parents page, with oodles of tips and tools and ideas, to not only keep you and your children busy all summer, but all throughout the year! This is truly a gold mine of information for parents and childcare givers.

“Early ON” is a site offering a free fun place for kids to explore, games, and an online library with books that help the little ones develop a love of reading and a good mind. With a page for parents, they also have resources like Helpful Phone Numbers, a School Readiness Checklist, and episodes of “A Place of Our Own”. Their calendar of events is comprehensive; parent workshops, caregiver workshops, play and Learn groups – designated play dates for kids and their parents. Check out the cooking section in the Library for kid friendly recipes and edible activities! It’s all about using the resources that are available to you to give the next generation a good start. “Early On” is definitely a good starting point.
