Education is the key to freedom.

S.E.E.D.S. aims to develop as fully as possible the potential the young minds of children.  By nurturing, fostering, protecting and enriching their early education, we strive to free their minds from the limitations that may be imposed, consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly, by others or by the children themselves.  Children’s minds are like sponges.  From the protective environment of the womb, they enter a world filled with diverse stimuli.  Their very survival depends on their interactions with the environment.  The first three years are the critical formative years that impact the rest of their lives.  An unfortunate fact of circumstances often occurs at birth.  Many children are born into poverty.  Their families struggle to make ends meet.  Preschool education is often deemed a luxury rather than a necessity.  What is the freedom referred to in George Washington Carver’s quote?  Freedom is an abstract term.  As such, people can read into it as they want.  The world is filled with challenges.  At S.E.E.D.S. we see education as a critical function to overcome many obstacles in a person’s life (e.g. conflict and prejudice, among others).  Education also holds the key to understanding and peace.  Basically, S.E.E.D.S. strives for the free intellectual development of all children as good, decent human beings.
