CQCM Newsletter 2007, March 6

Welcome to KIDS FIRST!® NEWS. All articles are by Coalition for Quality Children's Media unless otherwise noted.

Last week my family went to visit my in-laws up in northern NY. As you can see on the left, my kids had a fantastic time playing in the snow (one child is in the tree). We had a great week together, playing lots of games and talking and doing crafts. The intergenerational interaction is priceless. As I prepared this magazine, which highlights PBS Preschool Destination, I realized that they are doing the same thing. They are becoming more than the safe environment we can trust for our children. PBS is also a valuable resource for parents and grandparents. Their website if full of activity ideas and games and general parenting tips. For the educators among us, the site highlights the curriculum standards their programs are based on. The site is interactive and dedicated to pulling the generations together.

I hope you enjoy reading about the preschool programming as much as I enjoyed talking with Lori Holton Nash AKA Miss Lori, the first official host for PBS KIDS Preschool Destination, Angela C. Santomero, creator of Blue’s Clues and co-founder and executive producer of the award-winning children’s educational media company, Out of the Blue, and Lesli Rotenberg, senior VP, PBS KIDS about all PBS has to offer parents, children, caregivers, and educators.

As always, I welcome your input. If you have comments on titles we have endorsed; notices of media awards, publications, and products; or suggestions for articles, please drop me a line.

Dear Friends,

I love this time of year. We've just finished selecting our films for our second quarter festivals, and I have to tell you - it's quite an exciting line up. From student productions such as the claymation "The Adventures of the Clary Guy," to the new "The Sandlot: Heading Home" starring Luke Perry. Our favorite Native American producers have come out with a new episode of Raven Tales called, "The Sea Wolf" that is everything the first one was and more. A few of the wonderful feature films that were released recently will be featured just prior to their DVD release date including, "Night at the Museum" starring Ben Stiller and Robin Williams and "Charlotte's Web" starring Dakota Fanning and the voice of Julia Roberts as Charlotte. We have some brilliant animated titles from some indie producers such as "The Baseball Card Shop" and "Blocks Car Derby" and a new feature from Monterey Media, "Eye of the Dolphin." And, there are lots lots more. For a complete list of films playing at a venue near you, please visit www.kidsfirst.org/fest.

We've had an exhausting time reviewing all the films that were submitted to us this quarter, but it's a good exhaustion. I am first and foremost, always delighted to see that independent producers are hard at it as they turn in precious gems of live action, animation, claymation films - short to feature length. Because our festival is a traveling festival, we take submissions year-round and just as we finish one quarter, we begin taking submissions for the next. It really is a terrific way for indie producers to get their films introduced to a wide variety of venues and audiences. Of course, not every venue will play every film, but it's quite amazing how many screenings they do get. For mainstream titles such as "Barbie Fairytopia: The Magic of the Rainbow," there's product recognition that will draw people to the venue because they're familiar with it. For indie titles, it's a different story. That's the beauty of KIDS FIRST!. Oftentimes, parents will show up to see a title like "Jungle Book: Tikki Tikki Tavi to the Rescue" because they know the title. Then, they'll stay to see something like "She's a Dog" - a cute indie title that's really about a guy and his dog.

I like to think that KIDS FIRST! provides films for kids that they might not get to see otherwise, in addition to playing those that they know and love, like "Shrek" and "Shrek 2," which we're featuring this spring in celebration of the release of the new "Shrek 3."

Let me know what you think. Have you found a special gem at one of our festivals?

Love,

PBS Preschool Destination by Christine L. Pollock

Lori Holton Nash is akin to many mothers around the world. She is very busy with her three children, ages four, six, and nine. Packing lunches and shuffling schedules for sports and school activities, she balances play, parenting, and work. An interesting aspect in Nash’s life, though, is that when she heads off to work, she joins a unique coworker -- an animated guinea pig named Hooper. That’s right, Nash is Miss Lori, the first official host for PBS KIDS Preschool Destination. In its debut month, September 2006, the on-air block catapulted the PBS KIDS series to the top of the kids charts. Curious George ranked #1 nationally according to Nielsen Media Research with kids 2-5, while other PBS shows joined it in the top ten slots.

This wasn’t a fluke. The team at PBS works hard to bring the public exactly what they are looking for. They hit the streets asking parents and educators what they found missing in children’s programming. One of the top items was an adult who could act as a positive role model for children. Miss Lori is a perfect fit with her radiant smile and welcoming attitude. She genuinely loves children. In fact, sometimes when she is on the set playing with the children during breaks, the cameras start rolling to capture the natural joy that

surrounds Miss Lori and the children.

Parents and caregivers also wanted an interactive preschool environment. PBS collaborated with Angela C. Santomero, creator of Blue’s Clues and cofounder and executive producer of the award-winning children’s educational media company, Out of the Blue. Under Santomero’s direction, Miss Lori and Hooper deliver engaging new preschool lessons in the second season, focusing on literacy, science, math and art through age-appropriate topics.

As Santomero points out, “Our goal is to have children think and participate. What that means to me is that they are practicing the skills they need.” Santomero has a secret weapon she uses to figure out timing. This successful woman joins her kids in front of the television and speaks back to the screen herself. She also listens as children in her household and in the local schools the PBS team visits weekly interact with programming. She makes sure that in the PBS programming, they have time to think about questions and give their own answers.

In next season’s block, which begins, there will be more emphasis on movement and music. Lesli Rotenberg, senior VP, PBS KIDS, says the music will be diverse, showing a variety of styles from calypso to country. Kids will have the opportunity to sing and dance to music from all around the world. Miss Lori will lead them in a “Simon Says” style in movement which, research proves, stimulates different parts of the brain and creates smoother motor coordination.

Additionally, to encourage more involvement, interactivity and creativity, new on-air spots will invite kids to submit their own content for TV and the Web on pbskids.org. Preschool Destination is mulit-platform, taking parents and children from TV to computer and to activities that don’t involve monitors. Every block has a theme described in detail on the website for parents. The themes tie into the NY state curriculum to help children excel in kindergarten readiness. The website offers interactive games, which will be demonstrated by Hooper and Miss Lori, and book suggestions from the American Library Association.

Nash sums up the goal of Preschool Destination beautifully when she points out that PBS echoes teaching and is there as a support for parents. Parents are the real voice. PBS can be their neighbor.

Young children are enthusiastic about learning, experiencing, and discovering everything. Teachers and parents can encourage learning by providing a lot of hands-on activities, music, movement, and reading. In each of these areas you can help your child by using media like videos and CDs to complement all these activities. A great DVD for caregiver and child movement is Move N' Groove Kids, Vol. 1.

The rapid spread of new technology devices and techniques have had a great impact upon the types and extent of mass media exposure in today’s youth culture, including cell phones, voice and text messaging, ipods, blogs, MySpace, Facebook, ebay, video games, etc. But what impact has all of this mass media exposure and technology had on children and youth in terms of their thinking, choices, priorities, actions…and their values?"
