PBS KIDS EARLY LEARNING CHAMPIONS

PBS KIDS Early Learning Champions are committed, talented early education professionals who work with young children (infants to third graders) and their families. Champions work in a diversity of learning environments: some are certified Pre-K, Head Start and early elementary teachers, others are childcare providers in centers and programs, and still others are librarians, museum educators, or family, friends, and neighbors who offer care in their homes.
