About us
Here at Fred Rogers Productions, kids come first, now and always. We connect with them through shows that are fun, relatable, and put their social and emotional learning front and center. That’s how we’ve earned the trust of parents, caregivers, and teachers. We bring our one-of-a-kind expertise in early childhood development to partnerships with talented creators, writers, illustrators, animators, and producers. Together, we create shows that foster a natural enthusiasm for learning and that make kids smile while they learn big life lessons. And we are always exploring how to make the most of new ways for kids to watch and play.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood as we announce the expansion of our partnership with Fred Rogers Productions. This multi-year licensing agreement will bring the beloved characters from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Alma’s Way, Donkey Hodie, and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood to six of our amusement parks across the United States. Beginning this fall, visitors during Dutch Wonderland’s Happy Hauntings event will have the chance to meet and greet iconic characters like Daniel Tiger, Katerina Kittycat, and O the Owl. We’re thrilled to create unforgettable moments for families and celebrate the values of kindness and learning that Fred Rogers exemplified.

Thank you to everyone that came by our booth, attended one of our sessions, or said hello to Miss Elaina. It's always a great day in our Neighborhood when we can connect with stations and teams in-person!

This past Thursday, I was honored to speak about Fred Rogers’ work and ongoing legacy at Chautauqua Institution as part of the lecture series theme “Rising Together: Our Century of Creativity and Collaboration.” A big thank you to Kwame Alexander for the invitation to speak during the same week Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center orchestra performed his seminal work “All Rise.” And thanks to Jordan Steves for his support and expertise both on stage and off. An amazing experience. Fred Rogers Productions
