| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | This instructional series features creative expression through art and cooking projects around a specific theme. Host, Sean, drives around in a double-decked bus fully equipped with art supplies and a kitchen, ready for any assignment. The projects encourage parent engagement and often feature families working together to make something to display within the child's home. Doggity is an ever-faithful beagle who transforms into an animated character during interstitial trips to a parallel universe, set in a kitchen full of prank-playing animated characters. Art projects typically promote utilizing recycled materials in order to demonstrate that creativity can transform something intended for one purpose into something that achieves a completely different goal. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Chica is a five-year old chick who spends her days with her parents in their costume shop, the Coop. In each episode Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractibility, judgement, and inter-personal behaviors. She and Kelly usually work on the problem through an adventure-a fantasy transformation to animation--where Bunji and Stitches come alive and join Chica and Kelly for the problem solving process. The core educational content is primarily socio-emotional development, and Chica learns how to express herself properly, think before she acts, and interact with others effectively. She often learns that it takes hard work and practice to become proficient at different skills. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | This show stars three space aliens--Fleeker, Flo and Boomer, who have been sent to Earth to explore, investigate, discover and report their findings to their superiors at Floogal headquarters. The diminutive Floogals are no taller than a large safety pin and their visual perspective is literally the point of view of the show. With the multiple challenges of their size and ignorance of all things human. The Floogals have a lot of work on their hands. They are engaged in the dual processes of discovery as nothing is familiar on Earth. Much like young children, they begin by encountering something new and then go through a comedic multi-step process of watching, listening, touching, and note taking until they've figured out what and how their new discovery fits into the human universe. |
