Dana’s Discovers Nick Jr.!
During the June holidays, Dana chanced upon a free preview of Nick Jr. channel on cable TV and fell in love with two of its shows targeted at pre-schoolers: 'DORA The Explorer' and 'Go DIEGO Go!'

We found that BabyTV’s programmes are geared to address the developmental milestones that our baby encounters in her first years and the programmes are made up of short stories and experiences that reflect her world. Later, we found out that all of Baby … [Read more...]
