The Pre-K Program
THE PRE-K PROGRAM IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE THROUGH WHICH GROWING UP NEW MEXICO ACCOMPLISHES ITS GOAL OF KINDERGARTEN READINESS. THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER AT KAUNE IS FIVE-STAR ACCREDITED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN (NAEYC). OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HIGH-QUALITY FULL-DAY/FULL-YEAR, DUAL LANGUAGE CHILDCARE AND STATE FUNDED PRE-K FOR WORKING FAMILIES. GROWING UP NEW MEXICO HAS THREE LICENSED PRE-K CLASSROOMS AND THREE LICENSED EARLY PRE-K CLASSROOMS, WITH THE CAPACITY TO SERVE 54 FOUR-YEAR-OLDS AND 48 THREE-YEAR-OLDS. TO EXPAND CHILD CARE SERVICES TO YOUNGER CHILDREN INCLUDING INFANTS AND TODDLERS, IN 2023 WE REMODELED THREE CLASSROOMS TO PROVIDE FULL-DAY, FULL- YEAR CARE FOR CHILDREN, SIX WEEKS TO THREE YEARS OF AGE. THE FIRST TODDLER CLASSROOM OPENED IN MAY 2023, THE SECOND TODDLER ROOM OPENED IN JANUARY 2024. A PILOT PROGRAM IN SUPPORTING HOME-BASED CHILD CARE GIVERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO EXPANDED SIGNIFICANTLY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.1MEarly Childhood Policy and Advocacy
EARLY CHILDHOOD POLICY AND ADVOCACY (FORMERLY NMECDP)- GROWING UP NEW MEXICO IS WORKING ON BIG, STRUCTURAL CHANGE TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF KIDS AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT NEW MEXICO. WE LISTEN TO THE VOICES IN OUR COMMUNITIES - POLICY MAKERS AND PARENTS WHO SHARE THEIR ASPIRATIONS AND TRUST US TO PUT THEM INTO ACTION. THIS WORK INVOLVES IDENTIFYING VIABLE SOURCES AND STRATEGIES FOR INCREASED PUBLIC FUNDING AND THEN CREATING AND SUPPORTING THE NECESSARY LEGISLATION AND PUBLIC POLICY TO SECURE THESE FUNDS IN PERPETUITY. NOT ONLY ARE WE EDUCATING AND CARING FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, BUT WE'RE ALSO WORKING TO INCREASE WAGES FOR PROFESSIONALS IN A SYSTEM THAT HAS HISTORICALLY UNDERVALUED AND UNDERPAID WOMEN, ESPECIALLY WOMEN OF COLOR. WE'RE WORKING ON MAKING BIG STRIDES TOWARD IMPROVING CHILD AND FAMILY WELL-BEING AND MANIFESTING OUR SHARED GOAL OF GIVING NEW MEXICO'S CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITIES THEY NEED TO SUCCEED. THRIVING WORKING FAMILIES ARE A CORNERSTONE FOR STRONG ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH IN EVERY COMMUNITY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.1MHome Visiting Program
