KMOS Kids Day

Kids Day 2009 is over and we're happy to tell you that 700+ kids and their families had a great time at Sterling Elementary School in Warrensburg. PBS characters Curious George, Sid the Science Kid and Clifford the Big Red Dog were on-hand to meet the children who came to experience the afternoon of family fun.

We thank everyone who attended, and especially we appreciate the help of our sponsors (New York Life - Galen Dody, Central Missouri Community Credit Union In-sight Eyecare, Western Missouri Medical Center) and all of the community partners, and individual volunteers who made the day a success!

2009 Reading Rainbow Young Writers & Illustrators Contest
Congratulations to everyone who submitted a story to this contest! Our judges had a great time reading through all of the entries, and designated these stories as the winning entries.



A Place of Our Own is a daily television series, a website, and an extensive outreach program devoted to the unique needs of people who care for children.

Family, friends and neighbors – everyone who takes care of young children – are child care providers. Every interaction and every activity of these adults with their charges provide valuable opportunities to help children learn and grow. Weekdays at 6 a.m.


Sesame Street and Barney and Friends might be the television shows most commonly associated with PBS, but clearly the reach of KMOS goes far beyond what is seen on TV. The KMOS workshops for early childhood educators, classes for parents, community partnerships to engage residents, and the many other innovative and effective ways that KMOS reaches out to the community distinguish public television as an educational oasis in the broadcast world. On air and off, KMOS is educating and inspiring more people than ever before.
