YouTube kids educator Ms Rachel heading to Netflix


by Thinus Ferreira

The YouTube kids educator Rachel Accurso who started her Ms Rachel video channel in 2019, is heading to Netflix with four episodes about teaching letters, numbers, colours and shapes.

Ms Rachel will be released on Netflix on 27 January with Netflix planning to release more episodes later in 2025.

The former teacher with master degrees in early childhood development and music education already has a toy line and also released a first picture book in September 2024.

The first four episodes on Netflix - ranging between 30 to 60 minutes - will be a curated collection of Ms Rachels' most popular lessons.

The first episode will cover speech and toddler learning. The second will cover nursery rhymes while the third episode focuses on preschool learning including the alphabet. The fourth episode has fan-favourite songs.

Ms Rachel will cover "first words", learning to talk and phonics across all of the episodes which are in English and will have subtitles on Netflix in 33 different languages.

"Ms Rachel is a beloved and passionate educator whose videos inspire 'littles' and their families to learn and bond together," says Netflix.

"Incorporating singing, dancing, and play, Ms Rachel's videos help children learn how to talk and express themselves and their emotions."
