Emmy Award-winning producer, puppeteer, ventriloquist and children’s book author Megan (Piphus) Baptist (“Sesame Street”) stars alongside her irresistibly huggable new sidekick, Cupcake, to serve up big preschool concepts in bite-sized, giggle-filled lessons.

Set in the WOW Workshop — equal parts invention lab and playhouse — Megan and Cupcake have no shortage of gadgets, gizmos and imagination to tinker with. Together, they’ll lead kids at home on playful, hands-on adventures designed to help them feel confident, curious and ready to take on preschool.

A collection of 10 one-minute “Megan and Cupcake” live-action shorts introducing viewers to the WOW Workshop will start rolling out on Disney Jr. YouTube today, Thursday, Aug. 13, before their debut on Disney Jr. and Disney+.

The full longer-form shorts titled “Megan and Cupcake Ready for Preschool,” themed around specific learning and play concepts featuring the live-action interactions with Megan and Cupcake wrapped around some of the existing “Ready for Preschool” shorts, will premiere on Disney Jr. and Disney+ this fall.

Megan and Cupcake Ready for Preschool joins “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” and global phenomenon “Gracie’s Corner,” which debuted on Disney Jr. and Disney+ earlier this summer as part of a global linear and streaming acquisition deal and also includes the development of new original content.

First launched in 2019, the “Ready for Preschool” shorts have amassed more than 150 million views on Disney Jr.’s YouTube channel and offer age-appropriate lessons featuring favorite Disney Jr. characters set to fun, catchy music.
