Sinking Ship Entertainment is launching Home4School, a new learning-at-home experience for kids, in partnership with TVOkids and the Shaw Rocket Fund.

Home4School aims to address the need for more educational materials for children during the COVID-19 quarantine. Launching on tvokids.com on May 4, the initiative will provide companion curricular experiences for some of Sinking Ship’s biggest shows on TVOkids: Annedroids, Dino Dana and Odd Squad. Each show guide will begin with an overall introduction followed by an episode-by-episode playlist and will include curriculum-based games and activities.

“Huge thanks to the Shaw Rocket Fund and TVOkids for appreciating the need to support parents looking for new ways to educate and entertain their kids,” said J.J. Johnson, partner at Sinking Ship Entertainment. “Home4School offers kids the opportunity to dig deeper into their favorite educational shows with a slate of curriculum-based activities while at the same time, offering parents a well-deserved break.”

“During this unprecedented time, the Shaw Rocket Fund recognizes the importance of supporting both communities, and industry,” said Agnes Augustin, president and CEO of the Shaw Rocket Fund. “We are delighted to be working with Sinking Ship and TVOKids in order to bring Home4School to Canada’s parents and children. This educational initiative represents Sinking Ship’s dedication to their audiences, and we are proud to be fuelling their creativity.”

“TVOkids is thrilled to partner with our friends at Sinking Ship Entertainment and the Shaw Rocket Fund to help support learning at home during COVID-19,” added Marney Malabar, TVO’s director for kids’ TV. “Odd Squad, Dino Dana and Annedroids are educational programs our audience loves to watch. Home4School adds a fun new way for kids to interact with them, and reinforces the connection between the programs and the Ontario curriculum.”
