Action/Adventure
Go, Diego, Go! is a dynamic action/adventure show for preschoolers. Swinging on vines, soaring on a hang glider, or jet skiing down a river, Diego is not the kind of Animal Scientist that spends a lot of time in a lab. He races through the rainforest to embark on high-stakes animal rescue missions - finding tree frogs before they go over a waterfall, saving a sea turtle from a net in the ocean, or helping an anaconda cool off on a hot day. In each story-driven adventure, Diego must overcome perilous obstacles and problems, like the Muddy Mud Slide or the troublesome Bobo Brothers to reach his goal. With the help of his family, his animal friends, his high-tech gadgets and vehicles, and of course the viewer, Diego must leap into action to save the day. Each episode packs plenty of action.

Play-Along Viewing
Preschoolers have come to expect a more active, participatory viewing experience, and Go, Diego, Go! gives it to them. Pushing the envelope on interactivity. Diego keeps a running dialogue with viewers, actively encouraging them to run, jump, clap, cheer, sing in English and Spanish, and help him on his animal adventures. Preschoolers should feel like they are part of the journey, not simply watching one, as they partner directly with Diego, Alicia, Baby Jaguar, and more to investigate, solve problems, call to animals, or identify their habitats.

Scientific Approach To The Natural World
Kids have a natural curiosity about the world and how animals grow, move, eat, breathe, and live within it. That's why Go, Diego, Go! turns them into Animal Scientists. On each adventure, preschoolers learn specific, scientifically accurate facts about the animals that they discover, such as the species' appearance, sound, diet, habitat, categorization (as a mammal, bird, reptile, etc.), and similarities and differences to other living things. Diego and preschools help their animal friends by using scientific skills such as observation, listening, research, investigation, and application of new found knowledge. They also use scientific tools like computers, field journals, and telescopic cameras to compile and review information, to identify and call to animals, or to investigate animal tracks and attributes. Moreover, Diego models a love of nature, a repect for animals and the environment, and a responsibility to be a caring citizen of the planet.

Latin American Animals, Environments, And Culture
Go, Diego, Go! appeals to kids' curiosity about animals by directly engaging them in animal-themed adventures, focusing specifically on species indigenous to Latin America. The show aims to expand preschoolers' familiarity with animals beyond the farmyard, introducing them to new species and their roles in nature. Additionally, Diego takes kids through the rich diversity of Latin American environments - from lush rainforests to snowy mountains, from arid deserts to tropical islands. Diego also explores Latin American culture, including music, folktales, festivals and traditions.

Spanish Language
Research has shown that recall of new vocabulary is improveed when presented in song, and that pairing words with movements helps build comprehension and memory. As such, Go, Diego, Go! teaches Spanish vocabulary in a unique way: by introducing Spanish action verbs in high-stakes situations and interactive songs. By strategically repeating words in song, Go, Diego, Go! increases language acquisition for preschoolers. The viewer sings "corre" as he runs, "brinca" as she hops, and "sube" as he climbs. Go, Diego, Go! NEVER presents Spanish as a language to be decoded by English (like a dictionary), but rather, as part of the active vocabulary of Diego and his friends. After all, Diego's family and friends are bilingual Latinos, easily and naturally switching between English and Spanish.
