PBS KIDS
 |
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, PBS KIDS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) are providing free educational apps to Head Start centers, local PBS stations, and other organizations in underserved communities nationwide. The apps are being downloaded onto devices that families have access to at home and/or in local Head Start centers and other community organizations. Both apps, All Aboard the Dinosaur Train! for iPad and Dinosaur Train Camera Catch! for iPhone, are based on the popular DINOSAUR TRAIN series produced by The Jim Henson Company and are designed to help kids ages 3 to 5 build critical math skills. This unique outreach effort is a service of the Ready To Learn Initiative, an early learning effort led by PBS and CPB with funding from the U.S. Department of Education. PBS KIDS, the number one educational media brand for children, offers all children the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds through television, online and community-based programs.
