Learn at Home with KET Education

As you plan for a variety of scenarios in response to the global COVID-19 health crisis, remember that KET Education is here to help Kentucky educators with programming on-air and instructional resources online.

PBS KIDS

When reliable internet access may be an issue, PBS KIDS broadcast programming on KET is a great option for younger students. Free apps can also be downloaded ahead of time and then work without internet access. PBS KIDS series and apps are aligned to curriculum areas and specific learning goals. You can find the broadcast schedule for all of KET’s channels including the 24/7 PBS KIDS channel online.
