What You Need To Know:

BABY EINSTEIN CLOSER LOOK is an educational series streaming on Netflix. In the first three episodes of Season One, young viewers are introduced to the letters of the alphabet through music and real-world visuals. Host Marlee Matlin leads the charge of teaching children about letters through modelling simple sign language, and Baby Einstein’s fearless mascot, Cal the Caterpillar, joins in the fun with silly skits. The series combines colorful imagery, classical music and calm narration to help toddlers build their vocabulary.

The first three episodes of Season One of BABY EINSTEIN CLOSER LOOK have a moral and pro-family worldview. Many of the real-world videos show parents interacting positively with their children. However, there are a few scenes during the puppet show skits that may be jarring to toddlers, like a goat puppet bonking his head on a tree to knock down apples, but no one is injured, so it’s very mild slapstick violence. There are moments of naturalistic upper nudity of babies and toddlers when children are shown taking a bath or playing in a swimming pool. MOVIEGUIDE® advises that children aged two and under should have no screen time, while preschoolers aged three to five should have extremely limited screen time. Parental discretion is advised.
