Our Mission
The early years are the optimal time to support social and emotional development. Through responsive and nurturing relationships, educators play a vital role, which is especially important for children with emerging challenges.
Our mission is to support educators in this work. Building on their existing knowledge, skills and expertise, SEED aims to inform and inspire educators in this critical task, encouraging connection and growth through every interaction.
SEED Program has the highest ranking on the School Readiness Funding Menu for its strength of evidence.
