  • April is a time of growth and new beginnings. Join PBS Kids in celebrating National Library Week from April 19th to 25th and Earth Day on the 22nd! These special days are a great opportunity to inspire a love of reading and learn ways to care for our planet.
  • April is Autism Acceptance Month! This month, we can all focus on celebrating inclusion and neurodiversity, while promoting acceptance over awareness. PBS Kids is committed to sharing authentic characters, stories and resources to help children on the autism spectrum thrive, this month and every month!
  • This April marks a special moment in our nation’s history as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of America. This month and all year long, we will remember the revolution and the first battles that began our history. It’s a meaningful time to learn together, reflect on the past and deepen our appreciation for American History and the values that guide us today!
  • Spring is in the air, and this week we are excited to celebrate the season of growth, color and new beginnings! Through hands-on activities, games, crafts and engaging science lessons, there are plenty of opportunities for curiosity, collaboration and springtime fun!
