Sparking curiosity and confidence through hands-on learning and creative exploration.
Inside the Classroom
Curriculum
Our Early Pre-K program nurtures the whole child through a curriculum that balances structured learning with creative freedom. Children develop pre-literacy and early math skills through engaging, hands-on activities. Small group instruction allows teachers to meet each child where they are, while group projects build collaboration and communication skills. As an NM Free Pre-K provider, we make quality early education accessible to every family.

Questions Parents Ask

New Mexico Pre-K funds one year of state-paid Pre-K per child. If a child is held back or repeats Pre-K, the second year is not covered by the state and would be private pay.
Yes. NM Pre-K classroom hours run 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. We offer wrap-around care — what the state calls before-and-after care — so families with longer workdays can drop off earlier and pick up later. Schedules and pricing vary by location, so reach out and we'll walk you through your options.
Yes. We welcome children on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or with a diagnosed disability. Each family's situation is unique, so we sit down with you up front to understand your child's needs and build the right accommodations together.
Yes. We welcome outside therapists — speech, behavior, occupational therapy, and physical therapy — to work with children at our locations during the day. Families coordinate scheduling directly with their provider; our staff helps facilitate a quiet space for the session.
Before or on the first day of attendance, please bring a copy of your child's birth certificate, up-to-date immunization records, a well-child physical exam completed within the last year, a signed Pre-K Enrollment Packet (with emergency contacts filled out), and a signed Center Enrollment Packet.
