Cooney's study, titled "Television for Preschool Education",[17] spelled out how television could be used to help young children, especially from low-income families, prepare for school.[26][27] The focus on the new show was on children from disadvantaged backgrounds, but Cooney and the show's creators recognized that in order to achieve the kind of success they wanted, it had to be equally accessible to children of all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds.[16] At the same time, they wanted to make the show so appealing to inner-city children that it would help them learn as much as children with more educational opportunities. This was the show's primary criterion for success.[28][29]
