About
The Skills for Success program is an approach to empower educators, support caregivers and ultimately lead to school readiness for students.
This program provides educators with resources and the tools to use PBS resources to support students in the classroom and parents at home. Families receive kits with curated activities to support an early learning goal. An interactive session for caregivers and students that highlights the best practice for interacting with the materials and resources is the final piece of the program. Establishing a home to school connection with the earliest of learners shapes a partnership that can create an environment for continuing school success. The target age for Skills for Success is preschool/preK students.
