The Melon Patch invites families into a vibrant, interactive classroom where learning, growing, and playing come alive the CoComelon way.  Beloved teacher Ms. Appleberry, played by Allie Rivera Quiñonez, leads the classroom with warmth, curiosity, and of course a song to help everyone learn and have fun. Each 25-minute episode blends music, storytelling, movement, and art into fun segments that keep little learners engaged while exploring milestones like bath time, textures, big feelings, and the joy of music. Joining Ms. Appleberry are her fun and dynamic co-teachers: Mr. Doodad the imaginative art teacher, Mr. Acorn the nature and exploration expert, and Ms. Twist the energetic dance and movement coach all helping to bring each lesson to life through music and play. With surprise guest stars and engaging lessons viewers of all ages will enjoy, The Melon Patch invites you and your little one to sing, play, and learn together one fun-filled episode at a time!

“With The Melon Patch, we’ve created a joyful space where kids can learn through music, play, and the warmth of a teacher they know and love, Ms. Appleberry,” said Nicole Rivera, Senior Creative Executive at CoComelon. “She helps make every lesson feel like an adventure, blending songs, stories, and real-life learning in a way that’s as fun as it is meaningful.”

Designed with little learners and caregivers in mind, each episode combines music, creativity, storytelling, and hands-on play to engage young learners and support key developmental milestones. The show’s educational curriculum was developed by early childhood education expert, Dr. Natascha Crandall. Trusted parenting consultant Clarice F. Dionisio, M.A., CLE, IBCLC, advised on the show’s structure to ensure it meets the needs of kids and their caregivers. 

“The Melon Patch offers children the foundations for lifelong learning and well-being,” said early childhood education expert, Dr. Natascha Crandall. “By using the fundamentals of child development, this show meets children where they are and  helps them rise to reach their next milestones with greater ease.”
