Cullen’s abc’s will be one of four spotlighted channels in the Popular Channels section, clearly acknowledging the pre-school channel’s popularity and creativity.

“This is so exciting for Cullen’s abc’s and for other educators, states Cullen Wood of Cullen’s abc’s. Up till now, the majority of channels and videos, featured on YouTube, have been pure entertainment. By featuring an educational video channel, it really demonstrates how much more YouTube can be than just funny videos. This is a wonderful testament to YouTube and its viewers.”

Cullen’s abc’s uses short and free “Idea Videos” to share creative, low-cost ideas that stimulate children's development at home. The idea videos are for parents, family, relatives, friends and teachers of preschoolers and include interactive book readings for children, book reviews with tips for grown ups, art ideas, rhymes, songs, and activity ideas.

YouTube has made it possible to share ideas through free, easy-to-understand videos. Cullen's abc's went live in mid-December, 2006 and has been posting at least five Idea Videos each week. The Idea Videos on YouTube have been viewed over 9,000 times. One of Cullen’s abc’s educational goals is to be an influence in the creation of a YouTube educational category.

Cullen’s abc’s, (www.cullensabcs.com) is pioneering the use of YouTube to share idea videos that stimulate preschool development at home. Cullen’s abc’s is the creation of Cullen Wood, who has been working with young children since 1994. She currently is a Preschool Teacher at St. Tim’s Lutheran School in San Jose, California.
