Peep and the Big Wide World has been picked up by V-me, and is set to start airing weekdays on the Spanish-language channel this month.

The animated preschool series, produced by Boston-area PBS affiliate WGBH and Toronto’s 9 Story Entertainment (Survive This), is also expanding its website to include a Spanish-language section.

‘On the educational landscape, there are tremendous gaps for Latinos and science, and research has demonstrated that Peep effectively brings meaningful science experiences to preschoolers,’ said Guillermo Sierra, VP of programming of the channel that reaches some 40 markets in the U.S. ‘By bringing Peep to V-me, we are able to expose our young viewers to science exploration early and foster an understanding that lasts them a lifetime.’
