The shops one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chica nanny and the ensemble is rounded out with Bunji, a large floppy eared rabbit, and Stitches, a straw mannequin that sits in the window. Chicas parents were formerly entertainers in the vaudeville tradition and they regale the audience with stories and songs from their theatrical past. They enjoy and indulge Chica, who sometimes acts younger than her age and gets into all kinds of predicaments. Kelly uses fantasy play to transform herself, Chica, Bunji, and Stitches into animated characters in another universe, who are struggling with a problem similar to the one Chica experienced in the Coop. Without fail, they find the problem can be solved and they carry that knowledge back to the Coop to use on another day. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Ruff Ruff, Tweet and Dave RRTD is a preschool adventure activity show where the lead characters travel to faraway lands to have adventures with their guide, a hamster named Hatty. Ruff Ruff, the dog, is the most playful of the three. Tweet is a little bird who loves to fly and get creative with her suggestions. And Dave, the Panda, has a thing for bananas. RRTD might go to the beach, or the mountains, or to strange lands with pillows everywhere, just the sort of place where imagination and logic come together. The settings are always brightly colored and beautiful. Their transport vehicles are Rolypods, artful go carts that fit on a spiral ramp that folds in and out of the Spin Again, a colorful round spinning top with special compartments designed to anchor each vehicle right on the outside rim during the journey. |

The trucks reside in a fully equipped truck yard/rock quarry and work as a team on various building projects that require planning, collaboration and implementation. Each truck brings specific skills to the group. They get challenging job assignments from Mr. Bill Board, a digital outdoor screen that outlines and diagrams the problem to be solved. By allocating the role each truck will perform during the project, the group merges those unique skills to fulfill their respective assignments. Unexpected problems that could compromise their success-- such as the weather, broken truck parts, or personal conflicts between the trucks--- are addressed and overcome so the job can be completed. |
