WHAT IS SEEDS?

The SEEDS program supports the entry of children into public education and helps parents understand the importance of the cognition, language, and emotional development of children (from 0 to 5 years old).

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS

WHO WE SERVE

SEEDS is a public education program geared towards Vietnamese parents, grandparents, and care providers in our community focused on positive parenting through the lens of child development in the first five years.

WHAT WE DO

SEEDS (Sensitive Encouragement Education Development through Self Image) is a workshop series geared towards Vietnamese American parents to educate them about the importance of a child’s developing years (ages 0-5). By learning from each other through discussion-based learning and allowing caregivers to share their own experiences, caregivers practice becoming more attentive and understanding to their child’s needs.

WHY IT MATTERS

SEEDS works to bridge the cultural gap between how Vietnamese parents were raised and what is necessary for their children to succeed in American education. Early and consistent involvement in children’s education builds bonding, understanding, and positive self image.

TESTIMONIALS

"I enjoy learning about how a baby's brain develops through the 5 senses - I have a Master's degree in Engineering, but I don't know much about child development."

"This workshop helps a lot to understand my child and how to deal with his unpredictable actions and emotions."

"I want ICAN to reach out to more people and tell them about brain development and the importance of the first five years. It's fascinating for us to learn how to raise our children so they can be smart, happy, and do well in school."
