Zoonicorn creator Mark Lubratt
Mark Lubratt is the founder and creator of Zoonicorn, an internationally recognized preschool entertainment brand built around one simple belief: anyone open to learning and working hard can do astounding things.
Inspired by a desire to create stories that are as meaningful as they are entertaining for kids, Mark created the dreamworld of the Zooniverse to help young children develop optimism, persistence and resilience through animated adventures.
Rather than relying on superheroes or magical fixes, he developed the Zoonicorns so children can better understand themselves, embrace mistakes as opportunities for learning, and face challenges and problem-solving with confidence.
Series curriculum goals
Zoonicorn® tackles the social-emotional obstacles that young children encounter when they enter their preschool years. The Zoonicorns are typical preschoolers.
They do not always listen to others, they struggle with sharing, they get shy in front of others, and they make mistakes. However, they are also the ones who are tasked with helping out other animals. In this way, the show provides young viewers with multiple ways to learn the social-emotional lessons in each episode.
In every episode, the Zoonicorns meet an animal experiencing real-world challenges, both the Zoonicorns and the animal work through the problem together with the result being that everyone gains social-emotional learning skills and tools. Young viewers see that working with others involves discovering things about yourself, discovering things about others, and coming together to work towards a common shared goal. Regardless of the goal or any obstacles in their way, it is possible to achieve their dreams with the help of others.
Zoonicorn starts with the developmental cornerstones of optimism, persistence and resiliency.
Then within these foundations, here are some of the social-emotional issues parents and caregivers can expect to be addressed within the Zoonicorn episodes:
