Parents today have so much to think about when it comes to raising their little ones. Is the food they’re eating nutritious enough, are they getting enough fresh air, are they settling in at school and what are they really watching on their screens!
As our children spend more and more time on screens, on their tablets or browsing for TV programmes, it's normal to be concerned about what content they're tuning into. But, one thing parents don’t have to worry about is tuning into RTÉjr. RTÉjr, the right choice for children and parents everywhere, because at RTEjr they make screen time a good time!
RTÉjr is a destination packed full of fun, curiosity and ad free content for all kids aged seven and under. RTÉjr is a guilt-free platform for children and parents to enjoy top class, specially curated content on their screens whenever and wherever they want to; a collection of family favourites and brand new shows and phenomenal podcasts arriving weekly.
There are so many reasons why you and your family should tune into RTÉjr, here’s just a few:

Ad-free
Nothing gets on the nerves of children more than ads when they’re trying to watch their favourite show, so RTÉjr has decided to make itself an ad-free zone. That means RTÉjr TV, radio or online has no ads on their TV shows, podcasts and online content for kids under 7!
Safety first
After signing into RTÉ Player, you can choose to activate ‘Kids Mode’, meaning only shows suitable for RTÉjr audiences will be available to watch. This allows you to let your children stream safely while they enjoy their screen time.

From 7am to 9pm every day, your little ones can enjoy a mega mix of fun, tunes and much more on RTÉjr Radio. This is ideal for long car journeys as there are quizzes, drama, science, craic and the podcasts too!
Prep for Gaelscoil
If you want your child to practise their ‘cúpla focal’, the new podcast Scéalta, is perfect with its magical series of Irish language stories as Gaeilge. There’s also Peppa Pig, or Peppa Muc to her friends, and Mya Go as Gaeilge on RTÉjr TV & Player. There’s also a chance to learn new words as Gaeilge on Fairy Island with Fia’s Fairies.
