94 HAWAII PARENT November/December 2025 Some of our earliest childhood “friends” likely had names like Oscar, Ernie, Bert and Cookie Monster. Chances are, we had the same friends. They were just some of the “people in our neighborhood” that helped us connect with each other and our communities, expanding our views of each other and of our world. That connection is at the core of who we are and what we do at PBS Hawaiʻi. Our Keiki Club has been around for generations, bringing together children, who become parents, even grandparents, onetime strangers united by their love for the programming and characters that define early childhood. PBS Kids programming has unique ways of connecting with children and families, opening up opportunities and doors at home and beyond. “If not for Daniel Tiger and PBS Hawaiʻi, we would be lost,” says Jeannie Courtesy of PBS Hawai‘i
