Play School aims to encourage a child to wonder, to think, to feel and to imagine. It is Australias most successful regular television program for pre-school children.
The program shows two warm, caring people taking the time to be with one child. They address the child directly and personally. Into this relationship are woven the stories, songs and activities that form the fabric of Australian childrens culture.
Play School is successful because it satisfies our basic human need to interact with other people and to be valued by them.
Play School aims to extend the childs interest and it encourages participation. Each program contains a story, some songs (both traditional and new) and a variety of play ideas with things to make and do.
Each week has a theme which is developed in different ways depending on the day. The daily format usually includes the Calendar, the Clock and a look outside Play School via the Windows.
It goes to air every weekday throughout the year, at 9.30 am and at 3.30 pm with a different program shown each morning and afternoon. It is designed for pre-school aged children.
