As the future of television shifts to apps, PlayKids, the fastest growing children’s educational and entertainment platform, has launched on the new Apple TV. The new version of the Playkids app is available for Apple TV users around the world.

Moving beyond smartphones and tablets, families can now spend time creating, learning and experiencing dynamic educational content that focuses on promoting positive development, enhancing a child’s learning capacity and memory, attention and mental flexibility via the Apple TV.

PlayKids on Apple TV features: 

  • The most interactive experience ever as kids explore the immersive environment using the new remote
  • A parental gate that allows parents to control sensitive content and manage preferences;
  • HD games, shows and craft activities... including kid’s favorites like Arthur, Caillou and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood;


“We are very excited and proud to be one of the first developers to bring our app experience to the living room with Apple TV,” says Eduardo Henrique, Head of Global Expansion at PlayKids. “With millions of families using PlayKids globally every month, Apple TV will allow us to develop new, engaging and enriching experiences for parents and children.”

PlayKids for Apple TV reinforces how the company is a major player in children’s mobile content. Since launching in 2013, PlayKids has expanded to more than 100 countries and played over one billion episodes in eight languages from child-friendly providers such as DHX Media, Dreamworks, Entertainment One, HIT Entertainment, The Jim Henson Company, PBS and Viacom.
