Marking a first for Xfinity Festival Infantil, Baby First en Español will premiere two original movies Harry y Su Gran Aventura en el Circo & Harry y Su Gran Conteo de Cumpleaños on Xfinity On Demand and also simulcast it via the Xfinity Latino Entertainment Channel (XLEC)."We are so thrilled to have Baby First en Español as part of Xfinity Latino’s third annual ‘Festival Infantil’," said Sharon Rechter, Co-Founder of Baby First Americas. "Being involved in this viewing festival represents a great opportunity because it allows us to showcase our extensive Spanish-language educational content to even more viewers. At Baby First, we aim to create children’s content that inspires, educates, and entertains the bicultural and bilingual families in America and knowing that Comcast also has a commitment to bilingual education and entertainment, we are even more inspired to continue with our mission."

During Festival Infantil and throughout the whole year, Xfinity’s Kids Zone destination provides a safe space for children to watch TV independently while parents can get peace of mind knowing the content has been deemed age-appropriate. The Kids Zone feature, a truly bicultural experience that is available in customers’ language of choice, also provides parents exclusive access to Common Sense Media's age-based ratings and reviews in Spanish, directly on the TV.
