History
The Spanish Education Development (SED) Center was founded in 1971 when a group of community leaders and parents joined together to establish daycare services for their children. These services became the first bilingual preschool in Washington, DC.
As the population increased and diversified, the SED Center developed programs to meet the changing needs of a wider range of immigrants and their children. Today, SED Center serves over 700 families a year through adult education and children development programs.
