Should You Watch It?

Yes. If you’re looking for a gentle, engaging way to introduce young children to early learning concepts, these episodes offer plenty. Ms. Rachel makes learning feel like play. Songs, repetition, pretend school, matching games, rhyming, the alphabet, shapes, and everyday routines such as brushing teeth and sharing highlight key concepts in the show. The appearances by Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby also bring life and education to the series.

Ms. Rachel has made news in recent years for her public statements and political views. However, none of that content or messaging appears in these episodes. Instead, the focus remains on early childhood learning, music, play and everyday skills.

Ms. Rachel episodes remain repetitive and highly structured. Older children or viewers looking for a more traditional story may find the constant songs, games and learning too repetitive, but that repetition serves a purpose.

A young child may walk away practicing letters, sounds, routines and social skills without feeling like they received a lesson, making this a positive choice for parents seeking educational screen time.

The Story

NO SPOILERS — WE KEEP THE SURPRISES

These episodes introduce children to school through songs, games, and simple learning activities, with Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby joining along the way. The episode explores letters, numbers, rhyming, shapes, listening, sharing, and classroom routines.

In the second episode, Ms. Rachel helps Bean Bear learn how to use the potty. Songs and playful demonstrations introduce the steps involved in potty training while encouraging children to recognize when they need to use the bathroom and practice healthy bathroom routines.

Is It Any Good?

Three stars mean Ms. Rachel is simple, but that part makes it work. The songs offer fun, easy ways for young children to follow along, and Ms. Rachel teaches in a warm, friendly way. Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby, and Mr. Aaron also bring extra energy and keep things interesting.

The episodes move at a slow pace, which gives kids plenty of time to sing along, repeat words, and learn new ideas. Ms. Rachel covers a lot, including letters, rhyming, shapes, sharing, and everyday routines. The activities stay easy for preschoolers to understand and join in.

The biggest weakness is the lack of a traditional story. Instead, the episode shifts from one activity to another. For a young child, that structure makes sense. It remains cheerful, engaging, and focused on helping children learn through play.

For parents looking for wholesome, age-appropriate entertainment, this is a safe choice that keeps the focus where it belongs: helping young children learn, play, and grow.

The Worldview

A mostly biblical, moral worldview gives this preschool favorite plenty to sing about. Ms. Rachel teaches kids important lessons in a kind, playful, gentle way. She helps little ones learn colors, numbers, letters, and shapes, and she even tackles potty time. Her lessons on sharing and joining in daily routines also give parents natural chances to reinforce patience, love, and service to others.

The first two episodes of the new season contain no questionable content, but viewers should stay alert with other episodes. Past episodes included an openly transgender character, and Ms. Rachel often speaks out about her liberal views on social media. Those ideas could easily show up again. So enjoy the songs, but keep one hand on the remote.

Talk About It

Questions for the drive home, the dinner table, or the youth group.

01

Ms. Rachel pours her heart into little ones. Scripture calls children a heritage and a reward from the Lord. How does her work reflect that truth? Psalm 127:3 to 5

02

Jesus warns us never to look down on a little one. How can we love children the way God does, even in the shows we pick for them? Matthew 18:10

03

Ms. Rachel turns daily routines into lessons, and God asks parents to do the same with His Word. How can you weave faith into your family's day? Deuteronomy 6:6 to 7

04

Jesus welcomed the little children and said the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. How can we help kids come to Him? Mark 10:14

The Final Word

The first two episodes of MS. RACHEL Season 3 give parents a gentle, joyful tool for young learners, and most episodes reflect moral values. Her lessons on kindness, patience, and service line up well with what Scripture teaches about children. Still, the show's past content reminds us that no screen can replace a parent's discernment. So watch alongside your kids, talk about what they see, and point every lesson back to God's truth.

THE VERDICT WORTH THE WATCH - Safe for everyone.
