Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program


The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program is presented to television programming aimed towards children in any format. Series, specials and non-fiction programming are all eligible for the award. Prior to 1974, both daytime and primetime programming was eligible. However, once the Daytime Emmy Awards were formed, only primetime television remained eligible.
Beginning in 2020, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences revised their rules to exclude "programs first broadcast during primetime hours that are an extension of or a special produced from a daytime series." This excludes programs such as Sesame Street, which won this category with three primetime specials from 2017 to 2019. These programs are now exclusively eligible for Daytime Emmys.
