SEEDS
Our preschool teachers are trained in implementing the SEEDS approach to curriculum and instruction into their daily practice.
SEEDS is an educational model based on the idea that school readiness is more than just memorizing letters and learning their sounds. It’s about the interactions that develop between children and adults.
When those relationships are nurtured and supported during the earliest years of a child’s life, the seeds of learning are sown and school readiness ensured.
In addition to the relationship-based training, teachers, receive explicit instruction about monitoring the progress of the children in their care. The data collection methods taught in SEEDS ensures that teachers are able to tailor their interactions with the children based on the child's developmental stages.
