Working with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, we have created Learning at Home, your connection to thousands of hours of educational and entertaining programs, videos, activities and games to support you. As part of Learning at Home, your seven PBS stations across the state (collectively known as Pennsylvania PBS) are providing on-air broadcasts of educational programs to supplement your distance learning. Programming is aligned by grade bands, and color-coded by PBS KIDS Learning Goals (listed on the back) so that you can easily find the program that's right for your child/student. The links underneath each program provide access to supplemental learning materials related to the program (an internet connection is required to access the links).
