Our trusted, high-quality children’s programming balances educational content with fun. Series and seasonal specials are broadcast daily on Knowledge in BC and are accessible anytime across Canada on Knowledgekids.ca and our free Knowledge Kids streaming app.
Chosen specifically for kids aged 2 to 8 years old, our programming supports the cognitive, social and emotional development of young learners. Literacy, math, science, cultures, the natural world, personal development (curiosity, courage, empathy), teamwork and problem solving/critical thinking are woven throughout the stories in fun, engaging ways.
