Timothy Goes to School, also referred to as Timothy for short, is a Canadian-Hong Kong preschool children’s animated television series based on the books by Rosemary Wells and was co-produced by Nelvana Limited. The series originally aired on TVOKids in Canada and PBS as part of the PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch and TLC as part of Ready Set Learn in the United States, focusing on a young enthusiastic anthropomorphic raccoon named Timothy (voiced by Austin Di Iulio), who attends kindergarten at a fictional place called "Hilltop School" along with ten other students (each of which are of different animals except for the Frank Twins and Claude). The kindergarten class is taught by Mrs. Jenkins, a comforting teacher who enjoys educating and helping her students.
