Smarter, Stronger, Kinder with Sesame Workshop’s Sherrie Westin

Let's Begin with Jenna Arnold

Let’s begin, at the beginning of Sesame Street. In today’s episode Jenna sits down with Sesame Workshop’s CEO, Sherrie Westin to discuss the origins of Sesame Street, their partnership with Begin, and why its mission is more vitaI than ever before.

Since 1969, the characters of Sesame Street have reflected their audience, helping kids (and parents) see versions of themselves on screen. The cast of iconic muppets often model how to navigate the array of human emotions as they live together in community on Sesame Street.

Jenna and Sherrie discuss the significant impact of Sesame Street’s global reach, particularly with children in crisis, and how even in the show's inception, it was designed for both kids and caregivers to enjoy together.

In partnership with Sesame Street, Begin offers an early learning program for kids ages 2 to 5 that captures the essence of the show. Through digital classes, engaging in-app activities, hands-on kits, and an expert-developed Grown-Up Guide, Learn with Sesame Street by Begin helps families navigate big feelings and supports social-emotional learning.
