This plan charts out key goals, objectives, and actions to meet identified needs, track progress, and provide a detailed view of the early childhood landscape and a comprehensive strategy for moving forward.

We work to ensure that all New Mexican families and young children have equitable access to high-quality early childhood opportunities.

Babies are always learning, and you already have what it takes to teach them. From breakfast to bedtime there are tons of simple, everyday moments you share with your little one that can put them on the path to a bright future.

The Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD) is pleased to announce the Child Care Stabilization Grant. This grant opportunity is made possible via the American Rescue Plan Act, which includes federal funding for New Mexico to invest in its child care system to ensure child care providers are economically stable and that safe, high quality, and affordable child care is available for all families.
