Every day, you make a difference by helping kids and families grow smarter, stronger, and kinder. You’re an important part of the “circle of care” that surrounds the families and kids who need it most.

You’ll find hundreds of bilingual multi-media tools with Sesame Street in Communities, to help kids and families enrich and expand their knowledge during the early years of birth through six, a critical window for brain development. Resources engage kids and adults in everyday moments and daily routines—from teaching early math and literacy concepts, to encouraging families to eat nutritious foods, to serious topics such as divorce and food insecurity.

Sesame Street in Communities builds on an almost 50-year commitment to addressing kids’ developmental, physical, and emotional needs. There is a continuous addition of content that meets changing community needs. Some webinars even have a certificate to accompany course completion.
