Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Set on a space station in an unknown solar system. The station is populated by five characters and one 3-eyed octopus of unknown derivation. Each episode begins with an everyday conversation on incident that grows into a predicament of some sort needing a solution. While these predicaments take place on a space station populated by animal characters and aliens from different galaxies, the issues and resolutions resonate for a preschool audience. Through comedy and zippy action, our target audience sees how the characters learn lessons for practical living such as how: to keep track of things that belong to you, practice good habits, clean up a space when you've made a mess, rebound from a failure or embarrassing incident, or resist urge to blame others for your mistakes.
