Nick Jr.'s TV programming and Web site all promote social and thinking skills through playful entertainment. To create programming that is just for preschoolers, we collaborate with child development experts, parents, and educators. Most importantly, we collaborate with preschoolers themselves to help us capture the essence of who they are, what they experience, how they play and what they learn.

We know that:

Preschoolers learn through everything they do,
Play is the work of a preschooler, and
Learning is enhanced by a positive, playful environment presented in the context of their lives.
Therefore, the essence of play-to-learn is to utilise preschoolers' natural desire to play, while giving them the skills they need to make their way in a complex and challenging world.
Play-to-learn is part of every Nick Jr. TV show. The programming reflects and celebrates the events in preschoolers’ lives. When they watch our shows, we invite them to think, to respond, to feel, to listen, and to grow.

At NickJr.co.uk, we extend this philosophy into an interactive experience that employs the best the Internet has to offer. NickJr.co.uk provides parents the chance to play-to-learn online with their kids. The animation and sound on the Web site make it easy for pre-readers to navigate. The entire interactive environment is designed to encourage preschoolers to become curious explorers. From the moment Face greets them on the homepage, they start playing to learn.
