History

The Beginning era (1996–2002)

On 1 November 1996, the channel launched and programming was aimed for older children and preschoolers. Preschool programming aired in the mornings, while shows for older children aired in the afternoons-evenings. The channel was originally named Discovery Kids Channel, but was shortened to simply Discovery Kids in official promos and bumpers. Its slogan was "Discovery Kids is not an infants channel, it's a kids channel!". The logo originally showed a white stick figure jumping on a red background. In 1998, Discovery Kids changed its name, with the word "channel" getting dropped. The logo got updated, now being a planet with a ring underneath it. Its new slogan "Baterías incluidas" made its debut.

The Rainbow era (2002–2005)

In April, 2002, preschool programming began airing around the clock on weekdays, while shows for older children only aired around the clock on weekends. The channel's current slogan "¡Aquí, en Discovery Kids!" also made its debut. In January, 2003, the channel changed its programming to target preschoolers, removing all shows for older children, which furthermore, changed its demographic to children under 8 years of age. In the early-to-mid 2000s, a website for the channel was launched, titled "Tu Discovery Kids". In February, 2005, Doki, the channel's mascot, was introduced, originally appearing in promos. Several prototypes of the mascot were made on 28 October 2004. His name is an abbreviation of the English term "A Dog for Kids".

The Imaginary era (2005–2009)

In March, 2005, the channel itself rebranded, which furthermore, also turned Doki into a standalone mascot. In 2006, the ''Doki Descubre'' shorts began airing on the channel, airing until the year 2010. In 2008, a new mascot was introduced, named Mundi. Originally made to celebrate

, it later became one of the standalone mascots for the channel.

The Park era (2009–2013)

In March, 2009, the channel received a new look. The logo now depicts a green K with a yellow D enclosed in a blue sphere, alongside a yellow ring in the K. The channel also created specials based on several themes, such as ambience, reading, and sports. The programming was also changed to focus on shows for children with up to 10 years of age. Newer mascots also made their first appearance: Oto, Fico, Anabella, and Gabi. The change originally appeared in Mexico, Argentina, and Chile on 30 March, before expanding to other regions on 30 May, and eventually expanded to

. In 2010, the final ''Doki Descubre'' short aired on the channel.

The World era (2013–2016)

In April, 2013, another TV series based on its mascots, simply titled '' Doki'', premiered, being produced by Portfolio Entertainment. The channel got rebranded as well, with the logo now being in 3D, rather than flat 2D. A high-definition feed also launched, with the D in the logo being replaced with the initials HD. The Discovery Kids logo was portrayed as a planet, full of colorful and bright buildings and houses, and the channel's mascots all lived in there. In September, 2014, the entire channel started airing entirely in 16:9. Back then, the channel mostly aired in 4:3, with some 16:9 programs airing since the rise of HD TVs. On 5 October 2015, ''

The Modern era (2016–2021)

On 1 April 2016, programming for older children returned after a 13-year hiatus for afternoons and evenings while preschool programming continues airing in the mornings. The logo was updated as well, replacing the "D" sphere with a speech bubble and removing the ring around the K. ''Doki'' characters were also removed from the bumpers and as the channel's mascots, though its TV series was still aired until December 2019. On 2 January 2017, ''
