| At Nick Jr., we "play-to-learn." 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.

Nick Jr.'s TV programming and Web site all promote social

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.
