The interactive location-based experiences for young children will foster playful learning. Classes and activities offered include cooking, science, music and dance, art and messy sensory play.<\/p>\n

The EPCs feature Sesame Street<\/em>-themed decor based around the beloved characters and scenery. The first EPC, called the Sesame Street Learn & Play Center, was made in partnership with Seoul-based agency AVECS Creative Group. It is open in the LOTTE Department Store Dongtan in Gyeonggi Province.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be launching Sesame Workshop\u2019s first Educational Play Center in South Korea, where Sesame Street<\/em> has been a beloved and recognized brand for many years,\u201d said Will DePippo, senior director of Asia Pacific at Sesame Workshop. \u201cWe know that playful learning boosts academic skills, as well as physical and social-emotional development.
