Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This program centers on five animal children, who play together in a barrier-free backyard behind their adjacent homes.

They are often presented with multiple dilemmas along the way to accomplishing a certain goal or priority, or may be challenged with a major single obstacle to defeat or problem to solve. The educational objectives of the program are to nurture children's interest in music, dance and imaginative storytelling, and to use these creative arts to foster children's cognitive and emotional development.
