We all know what it’s like to be in a space where you don’t feel accepted and this show embodies that feeling completely. Tetê is a girl who doesn’t feel accepted either at school or at home.

When her unemployed parents move her in with her grandparents, she must learn to start over at a new school while trying not to get bullied and make friends. 

If your child is struggling to adapt to the ever-changing restrictions in school while making friends and keeping up with their work, this is the show for them.

If you have much younger kids with big ambition, they are going to love this brand new series on Netflix called Ada Twist, Scientist.

With the help of her two best friends, Rosie Revere and Iggy Peck, Ada unravels and solves mysteries while attempting to make the world a better place.

This Bafta-nominated British animation about numbers, produced for BBC’s CBeebies channel, follows the fun adventures of the block characters in Numberland. When the blocks join together, they turn into new characters and numbers.

The show teaches numeracy skills and is simple enough for toddlers and pre-schoolers to understand, yet there are actual storylines with villainous characters and cool reasons for blocks to combine to make mega-blocks like Roboctoblocks and Dinoctoblocks.

Watch it frequently enough, and the kiddos may actually start to make sense of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and even grow to love math. We can tell you this from first-hand experience.

This award-winning live-action and animation show is regarded as one of the best kids’ shows on Netflix, and is about a group of curious creatures called StoryBots, who deep-dive (literally) into everyday things to help us find out how they work.

To investigate “What Happens When You Flush the Toilet?”, “How Do Cell Phones Work?”, “Why Is The Sky Blue?”, “Where Do Planets Come From?” and other intriguing mysteries, Beep, Bing, Bang, Boop and Bo of Team 341B go on adventures inside everything from computers and phones to volcanoes and outer space to help answer your questions with humour, facts and fun song and dance.

A-lister guest stars such as John Legend, Zoe Saldana and Jennifer Garner help.

A hilarious documentary narrated by “Mother Nature” herself, about some of the weirdest and most extreme creatures on the planet, from star-nosed moles and dung beetles to narwhals and coconut crabs.

The witty and often cheesy-on-purpose script will amuse parents, while the mind-blowing animal facts and amazing footage make each episode a most entertaining and educational 20 minutes.

An adorable British animation for younger kids centred on the adventures of a quirky and curious 7-year-old named Sarah, and her best friend, Duck, a mallard duck.

Together, along with the pals they meet along the way, they explore the themes of friendship and imagination, and solve interesting problems, such as getting Sarah’s broken tuba to work again, fixing their bike’s flat tyre, and helping their tortoise friend to hibernate. Gentle, sweet and whimsical, and teaches problem-solving concepts to little ones.

A critically acclaimed Netflix Original series, about the adventures of young Hilda, who moves to the city of Trolberg and discovers a world crawling with monsters and fantasy creatures.

We like this show for its dreamy vibes, muted hipster aesthetic and dream pop soundtrack (the theme song is by Grimes), as opposed to too many kids’ programmes with headache-inducing bright colours and manic characters and music. But don’t mistake the calm energy for boring—the adventures are intriguing, the characters are magical, and the themes of friendship, tolerance and embracing our differences are wonderful.

If your little ones are missing travelling around the world as much as you are, try this animated romp about four jet-setting heroes—Xuli, Kyan, Lars and Foz—as they jet to exotic locales around the world.

Via their globe-trotting adventures, we learn about places like Machu Picchu, the Strokkur geyser in Iceland and the pyramids of Egypt, as they solve problems or fix the shenanigans of the villainous Grandmaster Glitch.

Don’t miss: Fun Stay-Home Activities to Keep Your Kids Entertained During the School Holidays in Singapore

This Netflix adventure reality series starring survivalist Bear Grylls is really, really out there. Basically, us armchair adventurers get to choose the decisions that the wilderness expert will make via options on our screen as he strives to complete missions like finding a missing doctor.

Should he bushwack through a jungle teeming with snakes and jaguars or go via a crocodile-infested river? It’s exciting, tense, and the thought that Bear Grylls’ life is in our hands makes us shiver.

We recommend parental guidance as some scenes may be too wild for the younger ones—we still can’t get over the one of him chomping down on a juicy live grub with its insides squirting out of his mouth. Of course, we did make the decision for him to eat that versus the termites. 

While some of the scenarios may be scripted, many of them are actually completely real. Cool.
