Ms. Rachel’s YouTube page is a bookmark for many parents and caregivers – and starting January 27, she’ll have another way to access the preschool teacher’s interactive lessons for her “little ones.”
Rachel Accurso’s popular channel, which has nearly 13.1 million subscribers, is coming to Netflix for the first time with four episodes compiling some of her most-watched videos teaching letters, numbers, colors, shapes and more.
Offering subtitles in 33 languages (and eliminating YouTube ads), Ms. Rachel can help even more toddlers and babies reach key milestones through research-backed tools, which Accurso has hoped for all along.
“I decided to just try to be helpful and have fun because I love education,” Accurso, who co-created the series with her husband, Aaron, told PEOPLE in March 2023. “I’m so passionate about it and I think it’s contagious and that people can feel that I really care. I just want to help people. That’s what feeds my soul.”
Here’s everything you need to know about Mrs. Rachel episodes coming to Netflix and what parents can expect from the series.

Rachel Accurso, known to her young viewers as Ms. Rachel, is a former teacher with a master’s degree in early childhood development and music education. She and her husband, Aron, started their YouTube channel in 2019 to give other parents easy access to the speech therapy tools that helped their son, who had a speech delay.
“It makes me cry when I think about the time he couldn’t communicate — you could see the frustration,” the YouTuber told PEOPLE. “Watching your child struggle is the worst feeling, but when parents say that our videos help with communication, that’s huge. Communication is real. And it’s exciting for me to take what I’ve learned and pass it on.”
In addition to her YouTube series, Accurso has partnered with SpinMaster and Melissa & Doug to create a line of toys. She said Parents in August 2024 that she wanted to design “something that grows with the child” and that “inspires imagination and creativity.” Mrs. Rachel the toy line includes puzzles, blocks, plush and a rattle.
The educator also published her first picture book, Mrs. Rachel and a special surprise!: Encouraging speech and learning through play and musicin September 2024. Like her video lessons, she also focuses on promoting language development in young children. Accurso published three more books in January 2025.
