2. SEEDS is a map to help adults intentionally demonstrate behaviors throughout
their daily interactions with children that enrich academic growth and promote
social/emotional well-being. SEEDS interactions feature
Sensitivity – Look, listen, and ask questions to become aware of each
child'needs, thoughts, abilities and feelings
Encouragement – Use intentional affirmations and positive non-verbal
communication to create a shared positive learning environment
Education – Embed the “Big 5” literacy skills in daily routines (vocabulary,
conversation, phonological awareness, book and print rules, and letter
knowledge)
Development of Skills Through Doing – Help children explore their world
through hands-on learning
Self-Image Support– Balance the SEEDS quality interactions to support a child’s
feeling of being respected and capable
3. Inspired by Betty Hart and Todd Risley’s book Meaningful Differences in the
Everyday Experience of Young American Children (1995), Kate Horst developed a
framework for ensuring children would have the opportunity and experiences
necessary to be school ready. Now a nationally recognized curriculum, SEEDS was
piloted from 2003 to 2005 for the Minnesota Early Literacy Training Project. In its
evaluation of the SEEDS model, the University of Minnesota’s Center for Early
Education and Development (CEED) found that SEEDS made a difference for
children, teachers, and coaches.

4. Educational Philosophy
SEEDS founder and president Kate Horst is passionate about closing
the “opportunity gap” for all children and has dedicated her
professional life to the idea that school readiness is more than just
memorizing letters and learning their sounds. It’s about the
relationships that develop between curious children and caring
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
Kate's Background:As a first grade teacher and early childhood
family education teacher for children (from birth to 5) and their
parents, Kate has spent countless hours observing adult/child
interactions. She also directed an Adolescent Parent High School
Program where she realized that young parents who understood the 5
basic concepts
of Sensitivity, Encouragement,Education, Development through
Doing, and the power of positive Self Image could be successful in
their relationships with their children
