‘Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood’ is back with a coronavirus special

If your preschooler is getting restless after all this quarantining, we’ve got good news, mama!

PBS KIDS announced a new season of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and a new special that will focus on the coronavirus pandemic.

The special kicks off the new season on August 17 and is a sing-along show aimed at educating kids about coronavirus. According to Lesli Rotenberg, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager of Children’s Media and Education at PBS, the episode will “reach kids where they are with age-appropriate lessons—especially in areas where families may have limited or no access to broadband internet.”

We love that PBS is thinking of kids and their families during this difficult time, especially helping little ones understand what is going on right now.

In the sing-along special titled “Won’t You Sing Along with Me?”, 4-year-old Daniel Tiger learns he can’t get together with his friends at the Neighborhood Carnival this year. He has lots of big feelings and questions about this but finds out how to have fun and stay healthy.

Set the DVR now, little Tiger fans!
