DeutschDaytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Series
The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Series was an Emmy award given to television programming aimed towards children.[1] Children's television had been recognized at the Emmys since the inaugural year. In 1995, a separate award for pre-school children's television was created, and the two categories had been recognized since then.[2] Starting in 2018, a distinction between children's series and educational series was created, resulting in two separate categories.[3] In November 2021, it was announced that all Daytime Emmy categories honoring children's programming would be retired in favor of a separate Children's & Family Emmy Awards ceremony that was held starting in 2022.[4]
