Abstract	In the United States, migrant and seasonal farmworkers mostly of Latino origin work seasonal jobs on large scale farms. Because many of these jobs are temporary, farmworkers often move frequently across state lines and international borders to follow the work in agriculture. Many farmworkers travel with families including young children and one challenge of this population is stable child care and access to education services for their children. Migrant and Seasonal Head Start program (MSHS), a branch of Head Start, provides seasonal childcare and early childhood education services to young children of migrant and seasonal farmworkers ages birth through 5. This case study explored how MSHS operates seasonal programs for farmworkers children and examines the ways in which educators provide consistency in care for farmworker children. Specifically, the study focused on bilingual and bicultural programing, mobility of teachers, consistency in care, and teachers' knowledge of the program and farmworker community. (As Provided).
