Ms. Rachel’s YouTube page is a saved bookmark for many parents and caregivers — and starting on Jan. 27, they’ll have another way to access the preschool educator’s interactive lessons for their “littles.”
Rachel Accurso’s popular channel, which hasnearly 13.1 million subscribers, iscoming to Netflixfor the first time with four episodes compiling some of her most-watched videos teaching letters, numbers, colors, shapes and more.
By offering subtitles in 33 languages (and eliminating YouTube ads), Ms. Rachelcan help even more toddlers and babies reach crucial milestones through research-backed tools, something Accurso has hoped for all along.
“I set out to just try and be helpful and have fun because I love education,” Accurso, who co-created the series with her husband Aron, told PEOPLE in March 2023. “I’m so passionate about it and I do think that’s contagious and that people can feel that I really care. I just want to help people. That is what nourishes my soul."
Here is everything to know about theMs. Rachelepisodes coming to Netflix and what parents can expect from the series.

“It makes me teary thinking of the time when 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 our videos help with communication it’s huge. Communication is a right. And it’s exciting for me to take what I’ve learned and pass it on.”
In addition to her YouTube series, Accurso partnered with SpinMaster and Melissa & Doug tocreate a toy line. She toldParentsin August 2024 that she wanted to design “something that grows with a child” and that “inspires imagination and creativity.” The Ms. Racheltoy line includes puzzles, blocks, plushies and a rattle.
The preschool educator alsoreleased her first picture book,Ms. Rachel and the Special Surprise!: Encouraging Speech and Learning Through Play and Music, in September 2024. Like her video lessons, it also focuses on promoting language development in young children. Accurso releasedthree more books in January 2025.
