How Do You Get to Sesame Street™? Via Learn360 and Just for Kids!

The beloved cast of Sesame Street, including Big Bird and Elmo

“Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street™?” For many of us, it seems like there was never a time that existed before the beloved educational children’s show Sesame Street went on the air. It has become such an institution that parents who were raised on Sesame Street will watch it with their children and talk about what they remember about the show when they were young. Yet, the show did, in fact, debut on November 10, 1969, and it has been teaching and entertaining children (and parents!) all around the world ever since. 

Learn360, the ultimate streaming media resource for K–12 schools, and the Just for Kids Streaming Collection for public libraries each feature more than 150 Sesame Street videos! Grounded in research and best practices in early childhood education, these short videos cover critical skills in emotional well-being (including self-regulation and executive function), math, science, and language and literacy. Join Big Bird, Rosita, Cookie Monster, and all your Sesame friends for joyful shared learning on the Street. From instructional videos to songs and animations…it’s Sesame time!
