Kids on the Block (KOB) is an interactive program that educates
students in grades K-4 about health and social concerns that affect their lives.
Using puppets and other teaching tools, KOB promotes understanding and
acceptance of all children and adults, regardless of their differences. Nationally
recognized, and a part of the Middle Tennessee community for more than
thirty-five years, Kids on the Block offers stability and familiarity to students,
while also contributing to positive character development. Through the art
of puppetry, our humorous presentations relieve the tension often felt in
discussing sensitive topics allowing children to be informed, encouraged and
given the tools to help them meet the challenges of everyday life.
