I'm looking for these really old and obscure PBS Kids, Playhouse Disney and Noggin subscription based educational games from around the mid to late 2000s. They were similar to ABCmouse and had a bunch of games from shows of the channels. They are most likely lost, which is why I came here.
So PBS Kids Play, MyNoggin/Nick Jr. Boost, and Playhouse Disney Preschool Time Online? I could totally help you on those. I used all three when I was younger and remember a lot about them!
Unfortunately, they are all lost, like all of them.
What do you remember about the services?
Here's what I remember about them
PBS Kids Play
This is the one I played the most and the one I know the most about. The shows were Curious George, Super WHY, Mister Rogers, Thomas, Franny's Feet, Bob the builder, Berenstein Bears, Mama Mirabelle, Wumpa's World and Dinosaur Train. The main "Hub" was a box/playhouse and the guide was Dash(who had a much deeper voice than in the PBS bumpers). You could go outside the box to Dash's neighborhood aka the shows. You could access games in the playroom and episodes of the shows in the TV room. The games I remember are Curious George pizza game, bakery game, country game, and firefighter game, a Super WHY game with fairy tales, a Mister Rogers emotion game, some language game with a random panda and a Berenstein bears chores game. Each game had 3 levels or 3 minigames and you would be given a prize for completing the minigame(Curious George had balloons for example). Out of the 3, this one has survived the most, with screenshots, clips and even an official promo from PBS(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C_zYI3NrpE) existing to this day. It's just the actual GAME is lost.
MyNoggin/Nick Jr Boost
The "hub" was a typical playhouse and Moose A Moose was the host. The shows were Dora, Diego, Blue's Clues, Wonder Pets and Backyardigans. The games were Dora dress up games, Backyardigans space game, and there was a Moose and Zee game. There were also Blue's Clues games which I think were from the Nick Jr website. IDK tho. The prizes were marbles and there was a toy machine. You could also watch clips from the shows. Nick Jr Boost has survived a little bit, but this is the ONLY thing I could find from MyNoggin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGTYsD8fo6g)
Preschool Time Online
I'm gonna be honest, this is the one I remember the least about. In the 2000s it was Playhouse Disney Preschool Time Online, but then it changed to Disney Preschool Time Online. The shows changed a lot. It used to be Bear, Stanley, Jojo, Mickey, Pooh and stuff but it later changed to Mickey mouse clubhouse, little einsteins, tigger and pooh, jojo, handy manny, etc. I don't remember any of the games, but I do remember there were "topics". The one I always got was bravery( I think that was the free trial version). This one has survived the least. I can't even find any GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE.

PBS Kids Play: The hub was a child-esque playroom with Dash, who had a weirdly deep voice. I remember one area from a show I cannot remember for the life of me where you could create the Northern Lights in the arctic. I also vaguely remember a Daniel Tiger section, a Berenstain Bears video section, and maybe more that I cannot remember.
MyNoggin/Nick Jr. Boost: I remember a Dora skiing game with Dora, Boots, and Diego where you solved math problems (not sure on this one), plus a Blue's Room game where you popped bubbles to spell certain words with Blue's letter blocks. I also remember the marble gimmick where you collect them and trade them for prizes. A Dora carnival game from either nickjr.com or Nick Arcade reused a Dora dress-up cube toy from MyNoggin as a prize in that, so that's found. I don't remember anything else.
Playhouse Disney Preschool Time Online: Just like you, this is the one I remember the least. I do remember the My Friends Tigger and Pooh section, though. There was a measuring thingy where you measured somebody's height (again, not sure) and a rainbow xylophone. Not sure if this was on PTO or the main website, though.

I remember playing a Dora game at a local library in the early 2010’s. You would go through her house and do activities, I don’t remember which activities though, but I am going to the library soon and if I go there, I’ll check for the computers.

I remember playing an old game on Nick Jr's website back in 2007 or 2008 called Little Tikes Safetytown, where you would help Cozy Coupe drive safely around town by answering safety questions. It was also on Little Tikes' old website. I checked the Wayback Machine for it, but it is not archived. It is a flash-based .swf game, and I was wondering if any from-home internet archiving enthusiasts or anyone for that matter saved it. If so, please let me know and send me a copy if possible. Thanks!
