“Look Listen and Learn promises to be the kind of high quality preschool educational program that we desperately need. In the tradition of Fred Rogers, the show has the pacing, messaging, and content that make it the kind of program I highly recommend to parents of preschoolers. It is just what the doctor ordered.”

Dimitri A. Christakis, MD, MPH
George Adkins Professor of Pediatrics
 University of Washington, Director, Center for Child Health, Behavior, and Development, Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute

 

“The content of Look, Listen and Learn demonstrates for parents the kind of healthy, nurturing relationships that we think are important to child development. When you think about how many resources go into printing brochures with parenting tips, mass media is really the way to go. You get access to a huge audience who might not get that information otherwise.

Having a person on TV can be a surrogate for the real thing, especially if it’s someone positive and loving like the character that Val plays. Those kinds of TV characters can be powerful in a child’s imagination.”

Joan Sharp, Executive Director
Washington Council for Children & Families.

 

"A high level of responsibility, integrity and caring is fully demonstrated in the Look Listen and Learn programming plans.  The clear understanding and appreciation for early childhood development and what this means to our community's future is evident. Parents and children alike will no doubt be intrigued by Look Listen and Learn's messages. It holds the promise of parents and children learning together, which is such a necessary part of a child's early years. Look Listen and Learn shares our belief that all children are born whole, armed to learn, and ready to be all they can be."

K C Gauldine, CEO
The Children's Museum, Seattle

 

"The presence and influence of television in our lives is a fact-of-life. It would be unrealistic to suggest that a struggling parent stop their child(ren) from watching TV! Asking the parent to choose a quality TV program for viewing is a more reasoned and realistic approach. That means an option must be provided. Look, Listen and Learn will provide that high caliber choice. Tuning in will expose preschoolers to a developmentally-enriched, early learning viewing experience."
