Features
The current form includes mostly parenting advice and a small section of games. The previous versions of the site did not include the parenting advice, they only included games and videos only.
Games
The games featured on NickJr.com are based on the television shows broadcast on Nick Jr. and Nick Play Date. Some games featuring old Nick Jr. mascots from the 1990s and early 2000s are kept in a small area of the site, though some games are not currently available.
Other Digital Programs
Nick Jr. Video
In 2006, a section of the website known as Nick Jr. Video was created for children to watch clips and full episodes of shows if the TV show was not on their television sets at the moment. Most videos are still available in the site's current form.
Nick Jr. Boost
In 2009, (also during the remodeling of the site) a section of the site known as Nick Jr. Boost was created to store curriculum games that adapt to children's skill level.
History
1990s
Noggin.com was created before NickJr.com. It was used to store games featuring Noggin Original shows.
2000-2004
In the early 2000s, NickJr.com was created. Games featuring the 1994-2004 mascot "Face" were designed to help children learn basic skills, such as numbers and letters.
2004-2009
In 2003, when the mascot "Piper O'Possum" replaced Face, the site was designed to look childish. There were not much parenting columns at this time, and the games basically were the main concept of the site.
2009-present
In 2009, when Noggin was renamed Nick Jr., NickJr.com was redesigned. Now, it has much more parenting advice. The normal site is completely filled with adult-themed content. Only a small section of the website is used for children to play games.
