Team & Partners

PBS and CfC partnered to develop the PBS KIDS Learning Neighborhood as a campaign that connects and support educators, caregivers, parents, and community members as they focus on the well-being of the children in their community. The Learning Neighborhood is designed to support this coalition of adults to become a unified collective, developing children to be socially and emotionally ready for 21st century learning environments.

At the center of this partnership is the goal of impacting children’s learning and development by providing families, educators, care providers and the community with the knowledge and awareness of executive function, social-emotional (SEL), and foundational academic skill development for preschool-aged children, along with relevant content and professional learning -- all focused on raising awareness of how these skills contribute to healthy development in young children.

CfC has established a trusted and proven SEL brand in the classroom, with significant market distribution. The large national reach of PBS KIDS' exceptional early learning content has positioned the brand as a vital informal resource, particularly in homes. This partnership was created to help develop and foster important bridges between the home and classroom.
