“Sesame Street was built about a single,
breakthrough insight: that if you can hold the
attention of children, you can educate them.”
- Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author
Welcome to Sesame Street's exciting ventures in India:
Sesame Street Preschool™ and Sesame Street
afterschool™. Parents in over 150 countries around the
world have turned to Sesame Street to entertain and
educate their children – helping them realise their
highest potential. Join the Sesame Street neighbourhood
and help children prepare better for school and life.
Sesame Street Preschool™ and Sesame Street
afterschool™ are now offering partnership opportunities
for people interested in the future of education.
“In an age when parents look far and wide
for tools to endow their children with an early advantage,
Sesame Street continues to distinguish itself as
the best head start for learning a child can have.”
– Glenn Close, Hollywood actor
At Sesame Street, the child is at the centre of everything we
do. We believe that all children have a unique potential that
needs to be encouraged and channeled, so that learning is
continuous and lifelong. We understand that in order for
children to succeed in today's highly complex and
technologically powered world, children need a whole new
set of skills to succeed in life.
Our process and methodology is grounded in over 40 years
of research and proven impact, to ensure that children who
are exposed to Sesame Street content are confident; are
better able to make connections between diverse sources of
information; are more active, curious, inclusive and better
prepared for school and life.
“We need to prepare students for their future not our past.”
–Ian Jukes, educator, futurist
Preparing children for their future requires laying a strong foundation that
fosters life skills along with letters and numbers. The Sesame Street
Preschool™ and Sesame Street afterschool™ have been designed to:
1
Develop a positive attitude
in children and appreciate
diversity.
4
Encourage children and
teachers to co-construct
knowledge as partners.
2
Help children observe,
question, investigate and
reflect.
5
Expose children to technology
as tools to engage with, explore
and gather information.
3
Inspire children to think
out of the box in order
to succeed.
6
Empower children to make
active choices and become
independent thinkers and
decision makers.
“Above all, Sesame Workshop has been a tremendous
democratising force, promoting early literacy
and math skills and improving school readiness…”
– Stan O'Neal, Chairman and CEO, Merrill Lynch
We integrate content (what we develop), creative (how
we develop) and research (how we make it engaging
and impactful for children) in a seamless process to
ensure that learning is pedagogically sound,
engaging and culturally relevant.
