Neighborhood
The Learning Neighborhood is an innovative model of community engagement, led by your local PBS station and community partners who understand the assets and needs of their local neighborhoods.
KBTC Public Television and its partners collaborate to distribute innovative and effective multi-platform learning tools to children, families, and educators.
The Learning Neighborhood offers culturally relevant educational experiences that acknowledge and respect the cultural values and traditions of their families. These programs aim to strengthen bonds with the Latinx community and provide essential academic and career-related skills.
