About the Project
The Early Learning: Focus on Birth to Five campaign is the result of a unique collaboration between
KCTS/Seattle and Seattle-based Talaris Research Institute, which
studies early learning in children from birth to five years
of age and translates research into practical applications for
parents.
With content provided by Talaris Research Institute, this web
site provides interactive information that extends six 60-second
television interstitials about how children think, feel, and
learn. These interstitials are airing on local PBS stations
around the country and can be viewed on
this Web site.
Research is giving us an extraordinary new understanding into
how a child’s mind and brain develop. The campaign focuses on three
key topics: how young children learn, how kids learn to communicate
and how parents handle stress when children are watching.
The Early Learning: Focus on Birth to Five multimedia campaign, produced by KCTS/Seattle, is designed
to help parents, caregivers and professionals develop and strengthen
their parenting skills.
