The Pocoyo PlaySet: Let’s Move, creation of the Early Learning Collaborative (ELC) between HITN and Zinkia Entertainment, the creator of the award-winning animated series, Pocoyo, has been awarded the 2017 Kidscreen Award for Best Preschool Learning App-Tablet.

The app helps preschoolers develop English-language skills needed for a successful start in Kindergarten. Kidscreen Award winners were announced during the Kidscreen Summit 2017 in Miami last week.

“We are honored to win a Kidscreen Award and would like to extend our congratulations to all the television and digital media nominees and winners,” said Erica Branch-Ridley, VP and executive Producer of HITN´s Creative Development & Production. “We are pleased to have collaborated with the industry’s best television partners, and are grateful to Kidscreen for seeing the value and creative energy behind our Pocoyo PlaySet: Let’s Move app.”

HITN´s creative design and focus on solid academic and social-emotional skills were brought to life through the renowned and revered Pocoyo brand, and through the support of a US$30 million Ready-to-Learn grant funded by the US Department of Education.
