Pearlie is an optimistic,light-hearted fairy who sees the good in everybody, but often gets into situations because her desire to help is larger than her capacity to deliver.

Since Pearlie was appointed by Fairy Head Quarters (HQ) to keep Jubilee Park in sparking order she has constant challenges with her basic goal of keeping everyone happy and making sure the park functions smoothly.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Justin Time features and little boy, Justin, who wants very much to master his destiny, have great adventures, and solve problems. He begins with a problem that vexes him and daydreams his way into an adventure that takes him to different places around the world, but also provides him with an experience that helps him solve his problem when he returns home. While on the adventure he is accompanied by Olive, a knowledgeable imaginary playmate, and Squidgy the morphing flying sponge, who provides commentary and comedy along the way. Justin's lessons involve learning, for example, that it takes focus to achieve success, failure can teach what we need to do to succeed next time, or when one path to solve a problem doesn't work, you can find another way to get to your goal. Justin is all about self-directed learning from the young child's perspective and imagination. |
