Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Animated Program

The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Animated Program had been awarded annually between 1985 and 2021. Until 1993, the award was just known as the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. Arthur held the record for most nominations (12) and Arthur and Muppet Babies tied for most wins (4). Nickelodeon had the most awards of any television network (9).

Typically five nominees were announced. An exception was the 2006 ceremony, where six nominees were announced. At the 2010 ceremony, four nominees were announced. The last time this had occurred was two decades prior in 1990 and 1985, the first time the award was handed out. TV specials had been known to appear on the list, as well as shows appearing at multiple years, despite having lasted only one season.

In November 2021, it was announced that all Daytime Emmy categories honoring children's programming would be retired in favor of a separate Children's and Family Emmy Awards ceremony that was held starting in 2022.
