"It is evident that the content of the S.E.E.D. CertificationĀ® was created by someone who has lived experience working in a classroom with young children. All of the concepts speak directly to our work and what is needed in our field. It is rare to find a certification program that considers the unique challenges in early childhood education so completely."Ā
What does it mean to be a S.E.E.D. Certified® school?
What our programs are saying...
"I appreciate the forum the most. It is a wonderful platform to ask questions, and more importantly receive feedback from other teachers in the field but also some of the specialists in the field."
"I feel like Seed & Sew came into my life when I needed something to keep me in it after 30 years. Exploring all of what Alyssa & the Seed team have to offer has been a light in what was a dim tunnel. I have resources and connections now. I feel thoroughly supported."
"WOW! What an amazing seven hours. I am going back to watch at least the first three again! It is user friendly! NOT BUSY WORK and I love that. Great reflective questions."
