Tasteful Children's Music?

So, I'm putting together a little clip reel for a childcare website. I want to have some fun, but tasteful music playing over the clips as they fade in and out.

Any suggestions for good music? Something classical that's cheery and upbeat? Something I'm missing that could work?

TIA.

    They might Be Giants has many children's songs. It's not "classical", though.

    Theres only one band that matters:

    THE AQUABATS!

    FASHION ZOMBIES!
    SUPER RAD!
    POOL PARTY!

    They are one part super hero, one part rock n' roll, and 3 parts TOTALLY AWESOME! So that makes them have FIVE PARTS RAD AS HECK!

    Super Rad is probably the best song to go with for a project like this, that or "Look At Me I'm a Winner".

    Get it Together by The Go! Team comes to mind for what you described. Also known as the Little Big Planet Song

    The Go! Team has some really playful music. You might know them as the background music to LittleBigPlanet:

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=L4RLoRqx7Wk

    That song is called "Get it Together"

    "The Wrath of Marcie" is also good, especially the chorus.

    Also, Jack Johnson's soundtrack to Curious George might have what you're looking for.

    They Might Be Giants is teh Win when it comes to Children's Music. Their Alphabet CD is one of my daughter's favorites. The others mentioned above are also good. My daughter also likes Laurie Berkner.

    "No" or "Older" or "You're Not The Boss Of Me Now" as the background for a children's website is a pretty funny concept to me
