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, a preschool teacher and children’s media creator, 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 and a lively cast of puppets working together to explore strategies for self-regulation, communication, care for oneself, and acceptance of others.
Now in our 4th season
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.
A book that helps remind us that people are more important than our phones.

Financial contributions directly and immediately support our work to serve early learners and their families in person, on the page, and through the screen. Join us!
