Sesame Workshop

Sesame Workshop is a nonprofit educational organization making a meaningful difference in the lives of children worldwide by addressing their critical developmental needs.

Sesame Workshop was founded over thirty eight years ago as ChildrenÕs Television Workshop. Identifying a specific need to help children from low-income families be prepared for school, the WorkshopÕs founders shared a common goal: to use the medium of television as a tool to help children learn. This group of visionary educators, researchers, psychologists, child development experts, artists, writers and musicians pioneered the concept of entertaining, enriching television that could measurably enhance the lives of millions of educationally disadvantaged youngsters. From this collaboration came Sesame Street Ñ now one of the single greatest educators of young children in the world. The Workshop develops innovative and engaging educational content delivered in a variety of ways Ñ including television, radio, books, magazines, interactive media, and community outreach. Taking advantage of all forms of media and using those that are best suited to delivering a particular curriculum, the Workshop effectively and efficiently reaches millions of children, parents, caregivers, and educators Ñ locally, nationally and globally.
