Migrant Education Even Start is a program designed to break the cycle of poverty and improve the literacy of migrant families through a unified program of family literacy services. These services are defined in law as early childhood education, adult basic education or English Language instruction, and parenting education. Projects provide a number of services and strategies to help parents and children meet their educational goals and to support parents in their role as their child's first teacher. Services are provided to migrant agricultural families that qualify for the program under Title I, Part C of the ESEA, as defined by regulation in 34 CFR 200.40.
