Kindergarten: The Musical is an absolutely delightful show. The show teaches kids that school can be a lot of fun as the characters sing and dance in elaborate Broadway-style musical numbers. The conflicts introduced in each episode are realistic kid concerns, such as the first day of school, a missing class pet, or what to do when you like something different from everyone else. One of the best aspects of this show is that it doesn't dumb things down or talk down at little kids. These days, too many shows for young children don't trust their audience to understand things on a deeper level, and kids understand a lot more than we give them credit for. In this show, the teacher and classmates all express empathy towards complex kid concerns, which gives children a template for interacting with their own friends about a variety of challenges. I've shown this TV show to several of my friends' kids aged 2-5, and they've all loved it. One little girl loved it so much, she asked her mom to make her the main character Berti's outfit! With so many kid approvals, I have to give this show 10/10.
