FOR PARENTS:

Baby Genius invites young children to explore and practice topics fundamental to pre-school education.  A mix of animated and real-life characters, puppets, and settings combine to introduce viewers to animals, numbers, letters, body parts, occupations, and more, using rhyme, song, and comedic skits.  Each segment of the program is designed to hold children’s attention, invite them to sing along to familiar children’s tunes and nursery rhymes (e.g., the Alphabet Song; London Bridge is Falling Down), and to respond to direct questions.  Baby Genius employs principles of social learning theory and each episode portrays active groups pre-school children who serve as role models to young viewers.  Thus, viewers witness children just like themselves engaging in the very activities we encourage youngsters to adopt.
