Assisting a Groundbreaking KCET-TV Series
NexCare Collaborative worked closely with KCET-TV on their groundbreaking television series, “A Place of Our Own.”

(July 2005) NexCare Collaborative was selected by KCET-TV (Public Broadcasting television in Los Angeles) to be the recipient of viewer calls from the broadcast of their influential television series for parents and caregivers, “A Place of Our Own”.

“A Place of our Own (and "Los Ninos en Su Casa" in Spanish) is a daily television series devoted to the unique needs of the 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. “A Place of Our Own” shares ways for viewers to help children acquire cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills, as well as nurture language and literacy development.

NexCare Collaborative’s phone number was displayed and utilized during each show to provide viewers who call with content support, resources and referrals regarding each show’s particular topic or any other related issues that callers may present. Viewers are urged to phone NexCare Collaborative to obtain further information relative to each segment’s respective topic

Additionally, NexCare Collaborative created an outboard telephone program in conjunction with KCET to learn more about the demographic and psychographic profiles of viewers of “A Place of Our Own” who phoned NexCare Collaborative.
