Celebrating Back Leaders

Milwaukee PBS will continue to provide At-Home Learning programming on the World Channel. Viewers can watch over the air on Channel 36.2 and on Spectrum Cable in the Milwaukee area on Channel 976 and Channel 973 in the area that was formerly Charter Cable. These special blocks are intended for grades six through 12 and are broadcast from 11 am until 4 pm weekdays.

Milwaukee PBS continues to provide robust learning programs for younger children including preschoolers, on Channel 10.1 from 5:00 am until 3:00 pm weekdays and on the Milwaukee PBS KIDS Channel 10.3, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

The 2020-2021 school year is going to look different for families across the country. As local communities create plans to keep kids safe and healthy, some classes might be in person, some classes might be online, and some classes might just be... uncertain. PBS KIDS is here to help no matter what learning situation your family is facing this year. Every week, we’ll provide a new at-home learning topic with activities, games, and articles — featuring your favorite PBS KIDS characters like Daniel Tiger, Elmo, and the Kratt brothers — to keep your child learning through play.
