California Cared Families Fields Kern Migrant Mothers Nursery Teachers Trained
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of American migration. Taken in November 1936 at the Kern migrant camp in California, the image shows a group of preschool children engaged in playful activities under the watchful eyes of their trained teachers. While their mothers toil in the fields to provide for their families, these young children are given a safe and nurturing environment to learn and grow. The Kern camp was one of many such sites established during the Great Depression to accommodate the influx of migrant families who traveled from the Dust Bowl regions of the Midwest and South in search of work in California's agricultural industry. The conditions in these camps were often harsh, with inadequate housing, limited access to healthcare, and meager resources. Despite these challenges, organizations such as the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) stepped in to provide essential services, including the establishment of nursery schools to care for young children while their parents worked. The teachers in these schools were trained to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment, ensuring that the children received the best possible start in life despite their families' circumstances. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the American people during a time of great hardship. It also highlights the importance of access to quality education and care for young children, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
