PBS KIDS OFFERS NEW EPISODES AND DIGITAL RESOURCES FROM DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD AND ARTHUR IN HONOR OF NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH
New ARTHUR Episode Guest Stars Idina Menzel; Additional New Episodes of ARTHUR, DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD and PEG CAT Also Premiere the Week of September 7
Arlington, VA, August 26, 2015 In honor of National Preparedness Month, PBS KIDS will premiere new storm-themed episodes of DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD and ARTHUR on Tuesday, September 8 (check local listings), and offer a suite of new digital resources from both series to help families in challenging times. Additional all-new episodes of ARTHUR, DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD and PEG CAT will also roll out beginning September 7 as part of a special premiere week.
PBS KIDS is committed to using the power of media to help all children learn and grow, and supporting them, as well as their parents and caregivers, is an important part of that, said Lesli Rotenberg, General Manager, Children's Media, PBS. We know that parents can find it challenging to talk to their children about natural disasters or other topics that can be frightening to kids, which is why we are proud to offer families useful tools for coping with challenges like these.
DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD, a Fred Rogers Company production for preschool-age kids, and ARTHUR, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series for kids ages 4-8 based on the books by Marc Brown and produced by WGBH, help kids build their social-emotional skills. In these two special new episodes of ARTHUR and DANIEL TIGER'S NEGHBORHOOD, family favorite characters experience big storms and learn how to prepare, while also handling difficult situations effectively and safely. Parent and educator materials, tip sheets and videos from both series will also be available at pbskids.org/learn to help families cope when scary things happen.
In A Storm in the Neighborhood / After the Neighborhood Storm, Daniel Tiger and his friends learn important strategies to use during emergencies. And ARTHUR's two-part Shelter From the Storm episode features special guest star Idina Menzel as a caring therapist named Dr. Paula, who talks to Brain about his worries after the storm and provides him with helpful strategies for coping with anxiety. It's such an honor to have teamed up with ARTHUR, particularly on a story as meaningful as this one, said Menzel. I hope that this episode can help parents and kids when upsetting events occur in the world and in their communities.
In addition to the storm-themed episodes and digital resources, DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD and ARTHUR will premiere new episodes all week long beginning September 7 as part of a special premiere week on PBS KIDS. New episodes of PEG CAT, the Emmy Award-winning series that inspires kids to solve problems using math as a key strategy, will also debut that week (episode descriptions from both series follow). Created by Jennifer Oxley and Billy Aronson and produced by The Fred Rogers Company, PEG CAT is funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and by the U.S. Department of Education through the Ready To Learn Initiative, which supports the development of innovative educational television and digital media targeted at preschool and early elementary school children and their families. DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD is also funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
