Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Pajanimals are four preschool aged puppets who live together in a house with their off-screen parents. Each night at bedtime the Pajanimals go through the rituals of getting ready for bed such as brushing their teeth and once tucked into bed, one of the characters brings up a problem, concern or issue. The characters then embark on an imaginary adventure to resolve whatever came up, such as shyness, making a new friend or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help the Pajanimals work through the socio-emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated and practiced during the adventure and the Pajanimals return home confident and ready to face the issue when awake. This program airs on the stations secondary digital channel.
