Eureeka! A new season of children’s TV programming has been found.

Nickelodeon, the cable TV network, kicks off this week’s wealth of new children’s shows with “Eureeka’s Castle,” a new weekday series premiering Monday at 11:30 a.m.

The hourlong entry uses a mix of puppets, live-action films and animated shorts to deal with issues faced by preschoolers. Among the cast of puppets is Eureeka, the daughter of a wizard and fairy godmother, and Magellan, a baby dragon.

“Eureeka” will be followed each weekday at 12:30 p.m. by “Fred Penner’s Place,” a new half-hour series hosted by Penner, a Canadian performer.
