In 1988 at The Kids Choice Awards he met Albie Hecht, a development executive for Nickelodeon. In 1993, now that Albie Hecht was the head of the production for Nickelodeon, he hired Schneider to write the children show All That. After writing the Pilot episode, he was the writer, producer, and executive producer. He quit All That after four seasons to start working on a new show named The Amanda Show. In 2001, the show ended due to declining ratings. Nickelodeon asked Dan to come back to All That, which he did. The show ran for another 6 seasons and then finally ended. From 1996-1997 Dan was a executive producer, producer, and writer for Kenan and Kel. Schneider was a consultant for Kenan and Kel during the first two seasons. In 1998, he became a show creator when creating Guys Like Us. During the first season it was cancelled due to low ratings and bad reviews.

The Amanda Show aired from 1999 to 2002. The show starred Amanda Bynes. Dan was normally the victim of prank calls on the show. Dan and Will Calhoun writer of Friends soon dreamed What I Like About You. It premiered in 2002 and ended in 2006.

Schneider returned to Nickelodeon in 2004. He created Drake and Josh starring former actors on All That and The Amanda Show, Drake Bell as Drake Parker and Josh Peck as Josh Nichols.

It starred sister of Brittany Spears, Jamie Lynn Spears. Zoey 101 had Victoria Justice as a recurring character. Victoria Justice would then guest star in iCarly, which landed her lead role on Victorious as Tori Vega. Soon after Victorious and iCarly ended, Dan Schneider created spin-off of Victorious and iCarly, Sam and Cat.
