 * TV Kids: How did Total Drama Daycare come about?
 * Jennifer Pertsch: Cartoon Network wanted to keep it going. They said, it's ten years later, we're looking at a different generation of viewers, we want to age it down a little bit. So they came to us and said, think outside the box. We thought, we're always pushing logic out the back window, let's push it all the way out and make a prequel! We can age our cast down and put them all in daycare. We couldn't believe how many stories we had to work with. Who knew there was so much drama in daycare? [Laughs] We took 11 favorites from our original cast and aged them down to 4. And then we added Jude from 6teen [another Fresh TV production], just to be crazy! We were still able to draw on their central character traits and mine tons of ridiculous stories. We eliminated the contests and structured it more like a workplace comedy. We kept the confessional. Every episode stems from one of the kids' wants or needs.
