Embodying the beloved form of retro children’s TV classics while responding to the social-emotional needs of today’s families
Danny Joe’s Tree House invites families to slow down and engage with play-based stories that provide valuable opportunities to develop social-emotional learning and media literacy skills. Danny Joe is a preschool teacher and children’s media creator who cares deeply about helping kids (and their grown-ups) work through big thoughts, ideas and feelings. The series features a diverse community of real-life caregivers, plus a lively cast of puppets, all working together to explore strategies for self-regulation, communication, care for oneself and acceptance of others.
3 seasons available now!
Danny Joe’s Tree House is available on Sensical.tv, Epic For Kids, and YouTube/YouTube Kids.
We have a 4-star rating from Common Sense Media.
