Who Is Ms. Rachel, And Why Are Kids So Obsessed With Her?

If your kids are part of the 4 and under crowd, you have probably at least heard of Ms. Rachel.

She is a preschool teacher turned internet sensation, and her videos are taking the world of TikTok and YouTube by storm.

Kids love her, and parents don’t hate her — which is a very good thing when it comes to what littles choose to watch, AMIRITE?!?

Ms. Rachel isn’t as annoying as Blippi, IMHO, and she is DEFINITELY better than Cocomelon.

Her videos, “Songs For Littles” have taken the preschool world by storm, and we are here for it.

Who Is Ms. Rachel?

According to Today, Rachel Griffin Accurso — Ms. Rachel — is a New York City based preschool teacher and songwriter.

She makes educational videos with her band that have a music theme.

This band includes her husband, who is a successful Broadway music composer.

Y’all, she records all her videos from her one-bedroom apartment where she has set up a recording studio.

Her video series was born, because Ms. Rachel’s son had some speech delays.

I needed experts to help me — I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there was a show that really encouraged language development and worked on these important milestones and was slow-paced and a real person and very interactive?

As a parent she wanted to do something that would help him and kids like him.

Ms. Rachel says that many of the things she does and teaches in her videos are things she wished she had in her pocket to help her son.

When her son was going through his issues with speech delay, she kept looking for fun resources to help, but couldn’t find them.

I kept searching for this show for him and we couldn’t find it, so I was like, maybe we can try to create it and maybe it would help more kids.

Your kids are going to love them, and you won’t hate them. *Winky Emoji*
