Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. "Pajanimals" are a group of four preschool aged puppets who live together in a house with their off-screen mother and father. We meet them in the bedroom, a dormitory of sorts, where they show us their nightime routine of brushing their teeth and having quiet conversation before falling off to sleep. The quiet time always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the socio-emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated during the adventure and the children return home confident, getting ample rest for today and facing their issues tomorrow.
