'Daniel Tiger' Will Teach Kids About Quarantine And Face Masks Next Season

"When Daniel learns he can't gather with all of his neighbors at the Neighborhood Carnival this year, it leads to a lot of big feelings and questions, including what to do when he misses the people he loves, how to keep himself and others healthy and how to find ways to enjoy the extra time at home with his family," according to a stateemnt from PBS Kids.

The songs are also meant to reassure "young viewers and their parents at home, who are encouraged to sing along."

"As COVID-19 continues to pose challenges to families across the country, PBS Kids is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of children, parents, and caregivers," adds Chief Programming Executive Lesli Rotenberg.

"Learning lies at the heart of our mission, and we've been proud to be able to step in and offer at-home learning solutions, content and resources, like this timely special from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, that reach kids where they are with age-appropriate lessons — especially in areas where families may have limited or no access to broadband internet," Lesli said.

"In addition to the upcoming special, the season will include episodes about sudden changes at school, separation from family members, staying safe, hospital stays, respecting one's personal space, disappointment, generosity and grown-ups taking care of you," Paul Siefken, President and CEO of Fred Rogers Productions said.
