Rachel & the TreeSchoolers is STEM & STEAM Appropriate

By / 3 minutes of reading

We often get asked if Rachel & the TreeSchoolers is STEM & STEAM appropriate. The quick answer is YES, but let’s go deeper. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) vs. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) doesn’t matter when it comes to adding Rachel & the TreeSchoolers.

Rachel & the TreeSchoolers embraces the same learning philosophy. TreeSchoolers incorporates the best elements of Schoolhouse Rock, Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street …

Viewers Like YOU Make the Call: How Your Support Makes Quality Programming Happen

By / 3 minutes of reading

By Colleen Brunetti, M.Ed., C.H.C Take one company with a long history of producing high quality children’s media; legions of fans who ask, beg, and demand for “MORE Signing Time, PLEASE!”; an idea of bringing high quality media to television in the form of Rachel & the TreeSchoolers; and you would think it was a match made in heaven.

“Ew, Mommy, I Don’t Want This!”: Win the Picky Eater Battle (And raise a healthier kid!)

By / 4 minutes of reading
