Calli Ryals is a filmmaker, comedian, and the on-screen talent behind it’s CeCe! tv, a comedic, educational, research-informed variety show for babies and toddlers.
CeCe has been creating high-quality baby and toddler long and short-form content that allows for very effective and subtle product placement for you! Her main audiences are babies, toddlers and their parents, grandparents and caregivers who seek engaging, age-appropriate content that supports early learning and development.
CeCe is a strong partner for brands that prioritize trust, safety, and education, and want to connect with families through content that feels joyful, thoughtful, and parent-approved rather than traditional advertising aimed at parents.
She works alongside her sister Tara and their mom, a retired kindergarten teacher, to create content that supports speech development, sparks imagination, and nurtures positive emotions in early childhood. They couldn’t find kids’ content on YouTube that truly worked for their families. So when they couldn’t find it, they created it. They have built a warm, engaged community on social media, where they share toddler-mom humor, behind-the-scenes creative moments, and lifestyle content that celebrates the real, messy, hilarious side of raising young kids.
With a background in film, commercials, and television in Los Angeles—and training connected to The Second City—Calli blends performance, humor, and educational storytelling to engage little learners.
After 15 years in Los Angeles and Chicago, CeCe now lives in Cleveland, Ohio - creating a playful, educational kids’ show and a warm online community from the Midwest, supported by a growing global audience.
Past brand collabs: Learning Resources, NEO Parent Magazine, Mindful & Co., Hello Sugarhouse, Institute of Child Psychology, Mokuyobi.
