On Sat., June 17, PBS SoCal and KCET hosted the return of their educational event SUMMER LEARNING DAY. The event took place at The Children’s Museum at La Habra and returned to an in-person format with family activities, entertainment, music, and learning resources during a fun-filled day in the community. Close to 3,000 guests enjoyed this year’s Summer Learning Day theme, “Discover Learning Everywhere” which provided hands-on exploration activities for families at interactive booths outside the Museum. Throughout the day, families had free entrance to the Museum, meet-and-greets with favorite PBS KIDS characters, and front-row access to stage acts, including MC DJ Mad Hatter, KidTime StoryTime, Jelly of the Month Club, Baila Baila, Corona Dance Studio, Dance Image, and Ballet Folklórico Cielito Lindo.
