The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Technical Assistance Center provides on-site training and technical assistance to Head Start programs that serve migrant and seasonal farmworker families and their children, from birth through age five, across the United States. The project's goals are to improve the quality of services to low-income children and their families and in turn promote social competence and school readiness in young children. Head Start programs get a wide range of support, in areas such as management, early childhood development, health services, transportation of young children, appropriate facilities, developmentally and linguistically appropriate services, working with young children with disabilities and building family and community partnerships.
