Out of fields, into class for migrant kids
Elizabeth Pineda climbs out from bed, her 4-year-old son Adrian asleep nearby. It's a story repeated in migrant families across the United States: A chain of labor that stretches from one generation to the next. Private childcare is too expensive for most of these families, and the alternatives are limited. In this farming town in Fla., two Head Start centers have opened in the last year. And with a $26 million boost for Early Head Start in federal stimulus funds and separate $10 million expansion, nonprofit organizations around the country are hoping to expand enrollment of migrant infants and toddlers by thousands more.
