Lisa Kroll

Lisa Kroll, mother of two and part-time reading instructor, is passionate about the benefits of children's programming and its ability to help parents get their children off a good start.

"For our family, it's really important that there are no commercials. It's refreshing to be able to turn on public television and know that it's good quality TV for my children and I like the fact that we can support that," she says.

Kroll says the programs offered on public television, such as Between the Lions, give parents a tool to help their children prepare for school. "I think it's a great tool for a parent to use in addition to taking the time to read with [kids] every day. I think that's a wonderful benefit that WTIU offers."

If quality children's programs are important to you, show your support!
