Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about the experiences of United States migrant and seasonal agricultural workers and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic. This knowledge gap provided the purpose of this case study; to research how Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) teachers respond to the community's changing needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. I took a holistic and environmental view to consider social factors such as Covid-19, agricultural work, and punitive immigration on families and how to serve them. However, the paper's overall purpose is to look at the community's experiences during the COVID 19 pandemic and any long-term impacts they may face. In the tradition of Head Start as an education and community building program, my critical social lens provides understandings that marginalization, xenophobia, and exploitation, and other dehumanizing forces are not only exacerbated during times of economic downturn, but shift the focus of the program to a more holistic social service-oriented understanding.
