Pre School Description
TRANSPORTATION - MIGRANT - FOOD SERVICE - PRESCHOOL - INFANT/TODDLER
Our work in Michigan is focused primarily on meeting the needs of migrant and seasonal farmworkers who work in the state's agricultural industry and experience many housing employment and family health difficulties. Among Michigan's low-income farmworkers half are limited in the English language nearly all endure multiple barriers to stable employment a majority have serious or critical nutritional needs and nearly half need childcare services to be able to work.
Our Head Start program provides comprehensive child development services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers with children who are two weeks through five years of age. (see Eligibility Criteria) The program is individualized multi-cultural and utilizes developmentally appropriate practices.
In Michigan we have coordinated the major components of the program to meet many goals primary among which are -
*to provide a range of hands-on activities to help the children grow mentally socially emotion- ally and physically and
*to develop partnerships with parents and involve them as the primary educators of their children. Several centers are located throughout the Lower Peninsula.
