#3 Sesame Street

Hi Parents!

I mean, who doesn’t love Sesame Street!?!

Sesame Street has always been one of my personal favs and a favorite of many parents.  As controversial as it was at one time, Sesame Street oozes creativity, joy and an authentic zest for life that is yet to be matched on T.V.
I also love that Sesame Street comes up with fun, creative and interesting ways for children to learn.

What your child may learn from Sesame Street:

• Letter and word recognition, basic arithmetic, shapes, classification, problem solving
• Numbers and the alphabet
• Social skills
• Multi-culturalism
• Basic life skills, crossing the street safely, proper hygiene and healthy eating habits
• Your child may gain a sense of humor as Sesame Street focuses on subtle humor
