“CDI is excited to partner with Cap’n Ben and the Magic Ship to bring engaging and informed messaging that encourages children and families to talk about the importance of relationships and navigate life's challenges. Cap’n Ben is passionate about creating content that helps kids grow their own character and learn how their actions impact others.”

- Laura Counts, LMFT Director of Clinical Programs, Child Development Institute

“In a world where kids are constantly being bombarded with entertainment media from all directions; Cap’n Ben and the Magic Ship is a refreshing and innovative take on children’s content that focuses on not just telling fun and engaging stories, but takes a step back, breathes and allows crucial learning moments to sink in with a focus on social and emotional development. Parents can find solace with this show knowing that the content their children are consuming is of the highest quality not just in terms of production or entertainment value, but in the time tested values that make up the foundation of the story...”

- Alex Wilson, Senior Account Executive PBS KIDS Corporate Sponsorships

"Using Cap’n Ben has helped bring the social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum alive and helped the children really engage and identify with the SEL lessons. Watching them sing and drum along to "Be a Friend" on the “bongos” of their desks is also a fun byproduct of doing the lessons in person!"

- Caitlin Lobach, LCSW, Catapult Learning, Philadelphia, PA

“With a lens of encouragement and humor, Cap'n Ben creates direct access to practical, cognitive, and social concepts important for the growth and development of young families. Ben and Pickles' exploration of "The Captain's Code" provides important language and understanding for our young people as they begin to experience the world in brand new ways.”

- Ed Sutter, MSED, NCC Director of Youth Ministry and Family Counseling, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, PA

"I really feel at home on the Magic Ship."
