Viacom Digital Studios International (VDSI) Americas, ViacomCBS’s digital production studios, announced "Garden Academy", a new section within Nick Jr.’s ‘edutainment’ app Noggin. "Garden Academy" offers preschoolers an English-language curriculum allowing them to pick-up basic expressions of the language in an innovative and entertaining way.
VDSI Americas developed Garden Academy in partnership with the Ecuadorian chapter of the prestigious Swiss academy, The Bénédict International Language School, with over one hundred centers around the world and more than forty-five years of providing English-language instruction to children and adults.
The new educational offering comprised of forty modules allows preschoolers to learn about animals, colors, numbers, and other themes in English via a certified curriculum. Through a dynamic and interactive experience hosted by puppets, Tim the teacher, and students Col, Monte, Rose, and Margarita, preschoolers gain knowledge of the language via interactive games and activities.
Noggin is available throughout Latin America on the Play Store (Android) and the App Store (iOS) and through local pay-tv, internet, mobile, and broadband providers in the region.
