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.
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, we now live in Cleveland, Ohio—creating a playful, educational kids’ show and a warm online community from the Midwest, supported by a growing global audience.
