WarnerMedia has announced its plans to launch a new preschool-inspired network, Cartoonito, on HBO Max and Cartoon Network.
This new network will offer a modern approach to preschool programming and will focus on humancentric learning. The programming will encourage individuality, originality, creativity, inclusion, and compassion. This new framework was developed in partnership with educational expert Dr. Laura Brown, who explains that humancentric learning helps develop a child's unique potential while also promoting compassion and respect. The selection of preschool shows will include Little Ellen, The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo, "Esme & Roy" and the classic "Sesame Stree."
Cartoonito will be available Monday-Friday, 6:00 am to 2:00 pm ET/PT, and can tune in on weekends between 6:00 am to 8:00 am. The platform will launch on September 13, just in time for back to school.
