Danny's profile
Danny is the creator, host, and producer of the streaming preschool series, Danny Joe’s Tree House, created in partnership with his spouse, Stefani Foster LaBrecque, out of their home studio in Baltimore. Danny Joe's Tree House works to create healthy social-emotional habits at an early age, fostering age-appropriate conversations about complex topics that can support long-term practices for families as they grow together. Danny, a former preschool teacher and museum educator, is a community leader and activist, addressing needs of children and families, particularly in underserved communities. He brings interactive live-stream and in-person versions of Danny Joe's Tree House into early childhood classrooms, libraries, and museums. He is also a student of classic children's television and enjoys reflecting on the medium, then and now, through conversations with respected children's media professionals on his podcast, Cookies for Breakfast with Danny LaBrecque. Additionally, he is the founder of The League, a cohort of 20+ like-minded children's media hosts from across the globe, offering mutual support and strategies to sustain socially-responsible missions. During this time of major upheaval, the US suffers from a scarcity of current, readily-available programs for kids that feature adult role models who promote critical thinking, social consciousness, and personal responsibility, and Danny is committed to creating and supporting the art that meets that need.
