Beginnings of the channel
In July 2007, a children's entertainer had the idea that many children would watch television on the 24-hour channels that this channel will have from Monday to Sunday in the mornings for children from 3 to 7 years old, topics such as numbers, colors, respect for routines, stories, etc.

On May 25, the channel just started 5 days ago, it was successful in the ranking and received positive reviews from parents and children considering it as "The educational channel loved by children", on May 31 of the same year the website was launched with games, clips from the series, printables and physical activities and help for parents.

In December 2014, the game was shut down due to channel changes. In March 2015, he proposed a similar one but in a school and had negative and positive reviews until May because the channel was celebrating its 7th anniversary.

The first mascot of the channel
HP KIDS wanted something new to entertain with a character since many children got tired of commercials without encouragement, in July of the same year the movie Emoji: The Movie was released and the producer went to see it and loved it so much that on August 12 In 2017 the character Smiler appeared on the best television and gave advice to children and adolescents, the mascot was kept for two years and in February 2019 the same producer began to become obsessed with a zombie mermaid from the video game  PVZH , Neptuna and without notice it started on February 10, it started with more encouragement and many of the users were confused and sent comments like  The channel is fine or what  ,  The channel that broadcast by surprise and not being April Fools ' Day,  Failures that started badly '' , others for the style and humor, in an hour the channel apologized through social networks for the following: "We have seen the comments due to the commercial broadcast an hour ago and we want to apologize for the case, next time we will be notifying of any event, series, movies, channel changes and commercials that we will do in the future without any inconvenience."

On its website, in its social networks and in a commercial, a vote called "Who will be the mascot of the year" was carried out, which would be from July 5 to 10 between Smiler and Neptuna, many children even adults voted, Neptuna won with 100.00% votes and Smiler lost by 10.00% so Smiler was replaced by Neptuna and was the channel's most doubtful mascot.
