The 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards were presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), to honor the best in American children's and family-oriented television programming in 2023 and 2024, following on from the 2nd Children's and Family Emmy Awards, which were held in December 2023. The eligibility period ran from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, mirroring that of the Primetime Emmy Awards. [1]

The winners were announced during two ceremonies held at Television City in Los Angeles on March 15, 2025, one focused on creative and technical arts and the other dedicated to performances and programming. Percy Jackson and the Olympians led all programs with eight wins, including Outstanding Young Teen Series. The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to actress and puppeteer Fran Brill. [2]
