Ms. Rachel
What's the Story?
MS. RACHEL is a preschool show that encourages learning through interactive play, singing and dancing. In a series of short segments, Ms. Rachel and her friends introduce shapes, colors, numbers and ASL in a way that suits young learners, from discovering first words to reading.
Is It Any Good?
This show mixes familiar elements from YouTube content like nursery rhymes, unboxing, and a very charismatic host in a slightly formulaic but very tasty recipe. Ms. Rachel uses her knowledge as a teacher to create engaging segments that are bound to entertain young viewers while helping them improve speech, increase motor coordination, and become more attentive to the world around them. With many original songs about topics kids can relate to, this show will be a hit with preschoolers—but even parents can learn something!
