Disney Junior has announced a newly formed council of academic advisors, comprised of experts in the fields of transmedia, storytelling, early education, language development, diversity, emotional learning, digital trends and literacy, to guide Disney Junior’s learning and development curriculum designed specifically for kids age 2-7. The announcement was made today by Nancy Kanter, Senior Vice President, Original Programming and General Manager, Disney Junior Worldwide, in advance of the new Disney Junior 24-hour basic cable/satellite channel launching in the U.S. on Friday, March 23 (12:00 midnight, ET/PT).
Kanter said: “We are thrilled to have assembled this prominent group of leading academics, the best in their fields, who will share with us their research, innovation, trends and knowledge in childhood education.

Our advisory board will offer valuable insight into how we can best translate our series from television to online, games, apps and other extension experiences.”
