About me
I'm lucky - I have a job that I love. In case you haven't guessed, I work with Head Start! The rewards are endless...primarily my job is to connect Head Start administrators and staff with information that will help them do their job better. I also help them improve their job-related skills and attitudes through on-site and virtual training and technical assistance. My clients are primarily Migrant and Seasonal Head Start programs across the U.S. I live in Washington, DC, and travel to many parts of rural America where Head Start programs which serve the children of low-income migrant and seasonal farmworkers are located. Needless to say, the children of agricultural workers need transportation to the centers where they spend their days while their parents work in the fields and orchards.

  • Update on new Head Start National Centers. Last week the new National Center on Health contract was awarded to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Transportation resources can be found at:
    http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc/resources/Transportation, but each of the centers will be dealing with various aspects of transportation services. Stay tuned....

    The contract for Migrant and Seasonal Head Start T/TA has been extended until September 30.

  • Anyone know the maximum standard seat spacing for compartmentalization? Isn't it 24 inches? Can a bus be ordered with 28" rather than the standard 24"?

  • I am in Hanford, CA, attending the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Family Child Care Forum - this group has met 2-3 times a year since 1996 and represents those MSHS programs that are using the Family Child Care program option. The regulations are silent about the actual transportation of Head Start children in this option, and all of the FCC providers are contracted "staff". I am trying to get on the agenda to discuss safe transportation of Head Start children and how it applies to children in this form of care. 1310 was promulgated prior to the recognition of this option by Office of Head Start, and there are thousands of children who go to Family Child Care Homes every day to receive their Head Start services. I'll keep you posted. Your comments are welcome!
