YouTube sensation Ms. Rachel is on a mission to help babies, toddlers, and preschool children learn and improve their speech with her educational videos. She started her widely successful channel, Songs for Littles, after she discovered her son was struggling with a speech delay.

Songs for Littles, which now has nearly 3 million subscribers and more than 1.7 billion total views, is a hit among young children and their parents. Along with her team, Ms. Rachel shares videos that help kids learn how to talk and about fundamentals such as letters, numbers, and colors through interactive play, songs, and techniques approved by speech therapists and early childhood experts.

Ms. Rachel currently holds a master's degree in music education from New York University and is pursuing a second master's degree in early childhood education, and we love her uplifting, encouraging spirit as she continues to help young kids all over the world.

To check out her learning videos or show them to the children in your life, you can visit her YouTube channel here.


Question from the Editor: What are some other YouTube channels you know of that are geared toward helping kids learn and develop?
