Ready for School, Ready for Fun
Learn to make inexpensive, “educational” activities to do at home. Using PBS KIDS for Parents, we share resources on child development, age-appropriate practices and other tools.
PBS KIDS® for Parents and PBS Reno equip families with the knowledge and skills to support child development and to empower children for learning success. As part of the PBS Reno Family Engagement service, we offer Family engagement workshops specifically developed for Preschool through Elementary-aged children and their families.
The first years of a child’s life are instrumental to social, emotional, and cognitive development now and in the future. Parents play a primary role in a child’s early learning process; they are a child’s first teacher and the first to influence success with learning.

Family Engagement Workshops
Ready Jet Go! Space Exploration
Families will learn about space with PBS KIDS "Ready Jet Go!" There will be several fun, educational activities that are easy to do at home. Families will work together to build a rocket, learn about constellations, make space slime, and more.
Literacy Comes Alive!
Explore how one book can expand into many fun educational activities. Literacy can be so much more than just sitting and reading a book. We will expand one story into science, math, safety, cooking, and more!
The Land of Stick: Family Game Time!
"The Land of Stick" takes families on a wild journey through a book and board game where they will spend time discussing and answering questions that explore the concepts of what makes us unique. What are our similarities, what are our differences, and how can we embrace who we truly are as individuals? Do we need to fit in, or is it ok to stand out?
