The 34th annual Virginia Children's Festival returns to Norfolk this weekend, and WHRO Public Media will be there contributing to the fun.

PRA Group, Inc. has been a sponsor of WHRO’s Literacy Van for several years. They recently hosted a back-to-school drive and donated books and bookbags to the station.

Research shows that reading to children, and encouraging them to read on their own, sets them up for future academic success.

The 'Work It Out Wombats!' Family App brings the Wombats’ problem-solving fun right to your home!

Join us in celebrating the winners of our annual PBS Kids Writers Contest. The awards ceremony premieres Friday, May 24 at 7 p.m. on Facebook and YouTube.
