Step into the Playhouse

All children have this urge. It’s an inevitable desire, a pressing need, and a great delight to ... well, play!
Nothing makes a child smile faster than the word playtime. Having been there (and I assume you have), we all know why.

It’s that feeling of being carefree. It’s the kind of enthusiasm that only youth can give. It’s the pleasure in discovering something new every day. I can go on and on but perhaps, you already know what I’m talking about. It’s childhood and all the joys it holds near and dear.

Childhood has stages though and each one looks at play differently. Toddlers are all about exploring the power of the senses. There’s a lot of seeing and touching things for the first time. As the child gets older, curiosity is more than just aroused. It wants to be fed and as the loving parent that I’m pretty sure you are, you’d love to feed it.

You can nurture your child’s fragile mind simpler than you can ever imagine. In fact, it only takes a few steps: Turn the television on, put it on Disney Playhouse and enjoy! Yes, you heard me right. Disney Playhouse is your creative partner in this parenting endeavor. It will make sure your child’s formative years are as enriched as they are entertained.

Disney Channel, the pioneer in child’s play and everything related to it, brings out a channel that’s meant to captivate and stimulate your child’s mind. Disney’s Playhouse Channel guarantees 24 hours of fun-filled shows, which are more than your average cartoon.

Created especially for the probing minds of preschoolers today, it boasts shows that give these young students something to think about while assuring a whole day of laughter and excitement. After all, learning is fun and children must realize this from the very beginning.

And so with the help of some extraordinary friends, kids (and even kids at heart) can embark on a journey of intellectual fun and adventure. Ready or not, here they are!

Jojo the curious clown is going to get you up and moving. Of course, he’s getting a little help from his circus friends. Come join them and be a part of Jojo’s Circus!

There’s no group of kids more intrigued about music and art than the Little Einsteins. Join them in their numerous explorations and discover how you can express your true self.

Feel like enjoying life and breaking into song while you’re at it? Don’t worry. You’re not the only one. The Higglytown Heroes are here to join you. They’re an average bunch of people doing what they can for others and having fun while they’re doing it.

Are there questions you’ve been meaning to ask or simply want answers to? Perhaps, you and Stanley can work on them together. Just to let you know, he loves animals. Stanley is a playful six-year-old that likes to tackle everyday things with a good dash of imagination.

There’s always a time to sing, dance, and learn. The Bear in the Big Blue House will show you how it’s done. You’re all invited to visit his home and join this merry bear and his amusing friends.

Do you know what PB&J means? Why, it’s Peanut, Jelly and Baby Butter! And no, they’re not something you spread on bread. They’re actually river otters living one fun-filled day after another as they play along Lake Hoohaw.

There’s more to living life out of the box than you can imagine. Ollie will show you how. He’s a six-year-old robot boy taking on some hilarious adventures as he shows everyone around his magical planet.

No one has ever known a friend more endearing than Mickey Mouse and now, he’s inviting everyone to join him at the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Exciting games for everyone abound. After all, Mickey and his gang never run out of fun things to do. In this clubhouse, the laughter surely never stops.

Aside from them, you can also catch Barney and Friends; Clifford the Big Red Dog; Madeline; Elmo’s World; Play with Me Sesame; Bob the Builder; Lights, Camera, Action; Wiggles; Save-Ums; Bananas in Pyjamas; and Rolie Polie Olie the moment you flick on your television screens. Learning has never been this fun!

The Playhouse Disney Channel is being distributed for everyone’s viewing pleasure by Asian Cable Communications Inc. (ACCION). It can be enjoyed with SkyCable Platinum, Las Piñas Cable TV, Muntinlupa Cable TV, Parañaque Cable TV, and Destiny Cable.

The best things since coloring books are just a flick away. So come and step into the exciting world of Disney Playhouse!
