In a move that feels long overdue, everyone’s dream nanny is finally getting her own children’s show: Netflix announced this morning that Julie Andrews will host a series for preschoolers, Julie’s Greenroom, starting in early 2017. Kids (and grown-ups, probably) will learn about the performing arts with Andrews, as well as a whole bunch of puppets made by the Jim Henson Company.
Andrews and her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, have already co-authored many children’s books together. Plus, the show’s focus on the arts in all its forms (including “mime, music, dance, improv, circus arts, and voice,” according to USA Today) at kids at an early age can help keep them relevant at a time when they’re sometimes seen little more than as a distraction from hard sciences. And it seems many celebrities agree—the impressive list of guest stars who will appear on the show includes Alec Baldwin, Carol Burnett, Tituss Burgess, Idina Menzel, and many more.
