Description: Since 1980, this program has provided quality child-care and family services to the children of migrant farm workers on Johns, Wadmalaw, Yonges and Edisto Islands. The children include infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. The Migrant Program Branch of Administration funds this multi-cultural program for Children and Families of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. It operates up to ten months out of the year, and relies in part upon the gifts of volunteers and professional health providers. East Coast Migrant Head Start, located in Arlington, VA, is the grantee agency.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
