Listener Kids gives young children worship they can sing along to from the earliest years, in a place parents do not have to police for ads. It is a Christ-centered children's brand built around modern, animated versions of classic Sunday school and Bible songs.^1
The Listener Kids app gathers more than 100 faith-filled songs and videos for children ages 1 to 6, with animated Bible stories alongside singalong worship and Bible memory songs.^3 Jack the Squirrel and Scarlett the Bunny lead the videos, which play continuously, can be downloaded for offline viewing, and include early releases and clips you will not find on YouTube.^3 Families can explore the full catalog during a free trial before a subscription, on iPhone, iPad, and Android from Listener Records LLC.^3^5 The same catalog also appears on Apple TV, Minno, and Good News Line, and churches can license every video, song, Bible study, and printable activity through a church subscription.^6^8
Singer and songwriter Sarah Macintosh and her husband, producer Jonny Macintosh, launched Listener Kids in 2012 so children could learn Christian values from the early stages of life through Christ-centered music, videos, and apps.^10 Jonny, a Grammy-nominated producer who leads the company as chief executive, put the aim this way in a published profile: "Our music videos not only get kids to move and sing. They also teach important values."^11 The catalog has since grown into board books, plush, and other children's goods featuring Jack and Scarlett, and a YouTube channel with about two million subscribers.^1
