Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Parents need to know that Earth to Luna encourages kids to think critically about how things work in the natural world. Its science-based curriculum introduces concepts such as astronomy, motion, and light refraction in simple ways that preschoolers will understand through basic experiments and imaginative plots that put the characters in the middle of the action. Luna's curiosity (she's forever asking, "Why?") is presented in a positive light intended to show kids that asking questions is the only way to learn the answers. Need another reason to like it? Luna's sweet affection for her younger brother is a great example of symbiotic sibling relationships. |
