Mission

Fred Rogers Productions builds on our founder's legacy by creating quality children's media that models an enthusiasm for learning and earns the trust of parents and caregivers. FRP was founded in 1971 to produce Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and, since 2012, has launched six new series on PBS KIDS that promote social-emotional learning, build excitement about STEM, and help bring out the best in children and caregivers. These programs have an annual broadcast reach of more than 25 million children between the ages of 2-8, who also watch more than 750 million streams. In addition to our video content, we develop educational games and apps, storybooks, toys, summer camps, and resources for parents and teachers. Independent studies attest to the effectiveness of FRP's programs, with findings that verify feedback from parents, who regularly thank us for helping them connect with their children, helping their kids manage big feelings, and giving all children a chance to see themselves represented on screen.
