A child's early years of life are vital for cognitive, communicative, and social/emotional development. It is necessary that we strive to ensure children are able to grow up in a community where their social, emotional and educational needs are nurtured.

Parents play the most important role in their child's development. However, we recognize the vital importance of quality trained childcare staff as well. Overall, it is a goal of Project SEED to promote positive parenting styles and optimal child development through numerous community based early learning programs, support groups, parent/child play groups, individual family support, training and technical assistance for childcare providers, and community based networking.

We support that early childhood literacy is more than reading and writing, It starts from birth and involves play and interactions within a child's natural environments.
