Let’s Learn: 4pm – 8pm
Did you ever wonder? How does that work? I’m curious is full of songs and stories of science, math, and the wondrous world around us. Watch out; it will likely leave you even more curious than before.

  • A sample song: PBS’s Sid the Science Kid, the “Ology Song”
    all about different kinds of science

    (because you do want to know why ants invade your picnic and other curious things!)

DJ Daddy Dance Party: 8pm– 9pm
Listen up, babysitters and parents who hang disco balls in your living room - this is a packed hour of dance- until-you’re-on-the-floor, party-until-it’s-bedtime music!

  • A sample song: Laurie Berkner’s Jump and Fly

Bedtime Stories: 9pm – 10pm Ah, the calming effect of a great story as you wind down for the night.

Nighty Night: 10pm – Midnight
A combination of soft lullabies and classic stories, designed to, um, make you yawn.

  • Sample stories: Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin and Peter Rabbit among others!

Winter’s iQ Kids Radio Featured Artist: Frances England
Frances grew up in the South, where her love of fireflies and good bar-b-que began. She and her husband have lived in San Francisco for the last 10 years. Her musical inspiration comes from her two sons, working with families at a cooperative preschool, and a range of artists , including Woodie Guthrie, and The Carter Family, Cat Power and Yo La Tengo. In her spare time, Frances likes to cut up paper and make crazy collages with her kids, walk in the woods, ride bikes, and eat potato chips.

Lyrics excerpt to our signature song, “To Be”

If you like to stop and smell the flowers, if you like to climb the trees
If you look in a box of little critters, down on your knees
Then you know what it means to be, you know what it means to just be
Child, teach me, to be
Child, teach me
