KLRN Public Television

KLRN KIDS Community Screenings introduces families to PBS KIDS programs and educational resources (activities, apps, and digital assets).

The free educational screenings focus on the sciences, arts, math and social-emotional development. The screenings help bring educational PBS content to life on the ground, sparking kids' curiosity and encouraging them to explore the arts and sciences, just like their favorite PBS KIDS characters.

KIDS Explorers:
KLRN invites kids and their families outdoors to explore their community and to engage in educational activities tied to PBS KIDS programming. This program, KLRN KIDS Explorers, is designed to get families to explore outdoors using science, technology, and math based activities through geocaching—a worldwide recreational activity.

Using GPS, families can find "caches" hidden in outdoor locations in San Antonio. The caches consist of a container filled with a log book to sign—and most have containers with small items to trade. This program is for families with children ages 3-9.

Operation Never Ending Stories:
Working in partnership with the Zachry Group, San Antonio Woodworkers Guild, families of the fallen, school districts, and Survivor Outreach Services, volunteers built, decorated, and installed five Little Free Libraries to honor the bravery and sacrifice of fallen service members from San Antonio’s South Side.

Through Operation Never Ending Stories, KLRN produced five short films to honor six service members. Using QR code technology, people can scan the code and hear the stories of the fallen. A playlist is also available on KLRN’s YouTube channel. We gratefully acknowledge Goodwill Industries and Half Price Books for their donation of books.

Community Events:
KLRN presents free family-engagement community events throughout the year. PBS KIDS characters like Curious George, Peg + Cat, and Super Why make special appearances.

The events bridge partners and families as organizations showcase free, local services promoting school readiness, literacy, health, social services, or parenting programs. All agencies host hands-on, educational activities.
