Like Batman, most children’s networks lead dual lives. Sure, they obviously angle to entertain children. But they often work just as hard to appeal to adolescents and adults—witness the proud lineage of ostensible kids shows as beloved by parents as they are by children, from Animaniacs to Adventure Time.
Nick Jr. aims to please the very young—primarily preschoolers aged 2 to 6. There’s not a lot for parents here, but there is a lot of quality programming that’s safe and frequently educational for young kids to enjoy. Classic Nick Jr. series like Blue’s Clues, Dora the Explorer and its spinoff Go Diego Go! live here. There’s also the STEM-encouraging Blaze and the Monster Machines, the internationally beloved Peppa Pig and the inescapable Paw Patrol. In other words, it’s a much safer place for a child than YouTube.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch a Nick Jr. live stream.
