Plot Synopsis

In this animated children's program, 4-year-old Daniel Tiger, the son of Daniel Striped Tiger from MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD, teaches life's little lessons while providing a kid's-eye view of his life and everyday adventures. Aimed at preschoolers ages 2-4 and their families, Daniel teaches fun and practical strategies and skills necessary for growing and learning. Each 30-minute episode features two distinct stories sharing a common teaching message, including: "When something seems bad, turn it around and find something good!," which uses a smushed -- but yummy -- birthday cake and a rainy day that forces Daniel and his friends to move their picnic inside a clock tower; "When we do something new, let's talk about what we'll do!," highlighting how Daniel handles anxiety by asking questions on his first visit to school and how talking and reading helps him prepare for a doctor's visit; "Everyone is big enough to do something," showing how Prince Wednesday may not be tall enough to pick the highest fruit but he's the only one small enough to grab the magical golden pear and how Daniel Tiger finds ways to help his Dad build a playhouse even though he's not old enough to use grown-up tools; and many more life lessons.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD returned on Monday, September 6, 2022 on PBS. The celebration includes the launch of Season 6 on PBS KIDS with four new episodes that showcase more preschool "firsts" such as having a new babysitter, going to a sleepover and trying a new activity. The episodes will feature fresh strategy songs to help families navigate these relatable situations and more. The full season includes 18 new 30-minute episodes.
