Background

On November 17, 2021, the NATAS announced the creation of the Children's and Family Emmy Awards to recognize the best in children's and family television. The organization cited an "explosive growth in the quantity and quality of children’s and family programming" as justification for a dedicated ceremony. Many categories of the awards were previously presented at the Daytime Emmy Awards. [2] Animated programming aimed towards preschool children was honored from 2013 to 2022 with the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Pre-School Children's Animated Program. Following the establishment of the Children's and Family Emmy Awards, this award was discontinued.
