This is one of the most exciting launches in my PBS KIDS tenure. After only a few months to design, test, user test, get assets and all of the million other things you need for a video player, it’s up and it’s awesome! The first month saw over 60 million streams and I’m sure it’s only going to go up.

The most unique aspect of the player is that it is hosted. This is quite a bit different than other video players out there for kids and really sets it apart. It was a big challenge to present such a large amount of content to preschoolers and parents on one page. Keeping things simple while surfacing all of the videos and information was a delicate balance that our designer did a killer job of.
