WOSU Public Media
Ensure trusted and safe children's programming.

Studies show that American families are struggling to prepare their children for kindergarten, and many parents worry their children won’t have the skills they need when they start elementary school. WOSU Public Media can be a vital resource for those families most in need. 

 

Do you remember the first time you watched "Sesame Street" or experienced the world of "Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood" through the eyes of your toddler or grandchild? Through WOSU Kids, these great programs along with other trusted PBS KIDS programs are now available on TV and digital streaming 24 hours a day, seven days a week. PBS KIDS is rated No. 1 for preparing kids for success in school and in life by parents. 

 

Give to ensure that central Ohio’s children have access to free, research-driven educational programming … anytime, anywhere! 

 

Your gift will provide support to fund WOSU Kids, central Ohio’s only local, free 24/7 children’s television channel and livestream. This means that all children in central Ohio will have access to free, quality programming. 

 

Additionally, you'll help fund special WOSU Kids events throughout the year that allow children and their families to engage in fun, interactive activities with WOSU Public Media and to interact with their favorite PBS KIDS characters.
