Mathematics is one of the most important and one of the least understood components of the early childhood curriculum; science is equally important, though often honored in the breach. Crucial content objectives in both these domains can be advanced through experiences that are both fun and familiar to young viewers. As youngsters watch — and play along with — Bruno, the happy little monkey, they have opportunities to discover and to play with concepts, skills and terms fundamental to future math and science learning.
