Why?

Your attendance ensures every child has access to evidence-based childcare, regardless of family income. While New Mexico state funds childcare tuition, it's just enough to cover operational costs. Your support maintains our high quality standards of programming with facility upgrades to our PreK building, supporting our Farm-to-Preschool program, and funding a thoughtfully designed playground for our Annex. 

Your support means: 

  • Affordable, accessible, and accredited child care for economically diverse families 

  • An award winning nutrition program with home cooked meals and locally sourced foods
