About Us
Kujo's Kid Zone Inc.
Founded in 2019, Kujo's Kid Zone (KKZ) began with a vision to produce quality learning videos
and educational materials for preschoolers and their parents. The goal was to also promote BIPOC
representation including Kujo, a fun, smart and friendly Black, bilingual Canadian host.
Our journey brought us to create 41 original episodes of our inaugural show, featuring Kujo,
puppets Adjoa and Kweku, special guests, questioning kids and lots of stories, experiments and adventures.
The show also allowed us to promote diversity, unity, respect and self-love, encouraging acceptance of differences
and the opportunity to expand a child's ideas about the world. Our learning tenets are based on the
Early Childhood learning approach of Reggio Emilia. This allows children to ask questions while
discovering the answer through curiosity, play, and conversation.
In 2021, KKZ received funding from Shaw Rocket Fund to update its show concept.
Hey, Kujo! is an updated version of our show, which takes place in a diverse an bustling
community centre with some familiar faces and new friends.
The new show episodes, learning materials and events will be coming soon!
