Abstract

The East Coast Migrant Head Start Project (ECMHSP), a federal grantee providing quality Head Start services to migrant families, has developed a continuity system to ensure that comprehensive service delivery occurs for each child and family enrolled. This continuity system stands as an exemplary practice for mobile populations within any community because of the focus on centralized and parent-held documentation, advocacy training for staff and parents, and collaborative agreements. ECMHSP believes that the continuity system ensures an increased chance for empowerment of families and provides the core knowledge to enhance the quality of life for a mobile and “at risk” population. © 1995 Aspen Publishers, Inc.
