Sesame Street Preschool aims to change the paradigm in the preschool space by making high quality education, teaching standards and learning spaces accessible to Indian children.

Ms. Mona Singh, Vice President, Sesame Schoolhouse, shares, "Sesame Street was built around a single, breakthrough insight; that if you can hold the attention of children, you can educate them. Our curriculum is based on over 45 years of research on how children learn, what engages them, and most importantly what ignites their desire to learn so that it becomes a lifelong habit. We already have two preschools in Bengaluru - a city that is associated with innovation and critical thinking. We are thrilled to announce two more centres in the city. We hope that the education imparted at the schools will influence this generation of kids to become global leaders of tomorrow."
