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.^[1] Prior to 1974, both daytime and primetime programming was eligible. However, once the Daytime Emmy Awards were formed, only primetime television stayed eligible. This award is given to both the producers and director of the show/series and to the main cast.
