Early Childhood Education

Learning to thrive

We are honored to work alongside these leaders – groups that tirelessly advocate for:

• Providing universal access to early learning for children from birth to age 5.
• Ensuring sufficient funding and implementation of a multicultural/multilingual framework.
• Improving educator quality and increasing workforce development.

Their work inspires our vision of an educational system that affirms the identity of every child. We support educational sovereignty, quality early childhood education and strong K-12 schools.

Most important, our child-centered investments include the development and scaling of culturally and linguistically responsive education. Learning that’s reflective of children’s unique identity, heritage and diversity is crucial to the academic success of New Mexico’s children.
