The Customer East Coast Migrant Head Start Project (ECMHSP) was established in 1974, through a grant to the Leadership of Christian Women, to provide services to migrant farmworkers and their children and prepare them for success. ECMHSP provides services to 2,759 migrant and seasonal children, operating through 49 centers in 10 states. LaTonya Harrison is the Grants Manager for ECMHSP, and has been with the organization since 2013. She says, “We provide Head Start services to children from as young as six weeks to five years old, and we provide parenting trainings as well. Our main objective is school readiness to make sure our kids are ready for school when it's time for them to start school.”
