YouTube Original Tab Time to Premiere

The original new preschool series Tab Time is slated to premiere on the Tabitha Brown YouTube Channel and the YouTube Kids app on December 1.

An actress, vegan foodie and mother, Brown taps into her capabilities as a cook, storyteller, mom and motivational leader to teach children how to live their best life. Each episode features a celebrity guest as a Super Cool Expert in Tab’s Lab and two children who join Ms. Tab (Brown) and DJ Khrafty (Jermaine Fowler) for craft time activities.

Tab Time, geared toward kids aged 3 to 5, will explore themes such as family, helping others, music, how things grow and mistakes. In addition to Ms. Tab and DJ Khrafty, characters include Avi the Avocado (Miles Brown), Lenny the Lightning Bug (Anna Camp), Starla the Spatula (Ashley Nicole Black) and Burnie the Oven Mitt (John Michael Higgins). Among the series’ guest stars are Jordana Brewster, Karamo Brown, Percy Daggs, Cynthia Erivo, Cheryl Hines, Lil Rel Howard, Manny Jacinto, Shantira Jackson, Yvonne Orji, Dewayne Perkins and Michael Steger.

Brown said: “Tab Time is part of my purpose. Over the last few years, I feel I have been called to heal the world, and healing the world starts with children. If we can create better children, then we can create better adults. Teaching children to grow together and love each other with kindness will create a better world. We’re at a place right now where the world needs healing, it needs light, and children are that light. It’s been said a million times, but children are the future and healing change begins with them.”

Nadine Zylstra, head of family, learning and impact for YouTube originals, said: “Everyone could use a bit of Ms. Tab’s positive energy in their lives, which is exactly why we brought this show to our platform. Tab Time is set in an inviting, respectful environment where our young viewers are encouraged to realize their own abilities and potential. But it’s also fun for older kids and parents to watch—there is a magic ingredient in this show that appeals to the whole family, and her name is Tabitha Brown.”
