Education Programs

The highest possible standards. At the lowest possible cost (free).

Early Childhood Education

We are a five-star pre-school accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). This accreditation is the highest possible a school can receive.

Better yet, our pre-school program and associated services are all provided free of charge. We also have New Mexico PreK and Mixed PreK, which are prestigious and rigorous programs to prepare our students for kindergarten.

Through the use of the high scope curriculum, we ensure that each student is reaching their developmental milestones through creativity and play. If a child is not reaching their developmental milestones, we ensure that the student receives all the services they are entitled to.

 Additionally, our educators are highly trained and prepared to work with students who have experienced trauma. We pride ourselves on celebrating the diversity of our students and representing all cultures and backgrounds in the classrooms.

Infant Room:
6 Weeks - 2 Years

Our infant class serves students 6 weeks to 2 years old. In this classroom, our teachers strive to create a learning environment that supports the children’s social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Often, this is their first experience in a school setting! 

 

The infant classroom is where relationships are built with families and collaboration between families and teachers begins. We respect and recognize families as the children’s first teachers in life, and working together is important in assisting our infants in meeting their developmental needs. This curriculum is rich in music, art, reading and exploration.

"Early childhood education is so important we set development and build a foundation for children who are in our classrooms.”

Toddler Room:
2 Years - 3 Years

Our toddler class serves students 2-3 years old. In the toddler classroom, our children are busy utilizing their new walking, talking, feeding, and toileting skills! 

 

This is where the children become more sociable and begin to develop relationships with their peers. This curriculum is largely child-led and consists of lots of reading, dramatic play, music, exploration, and physical activity.

Mixed Pre-K Room:
3 Years - 4 Years

Our Mixed PreK class serves students 3-4 years old. This is the New Mexico Mixed Pre-K program and follows rigorous standards to prepare students for Pre-K and beyond.  

This class begins by adding elements of academic learning, combined with plenty of play, expressive creativity, and exploration. Students can engage in science activities, music and movement classes.

“Everything we do in the classroom from the meals we serve to the books we read helps the children and their families become healthier and stronger.”

“All of my children love coming to the center because the staff is welcoming, and they enjoy the presence of my children.”

This program prepares students for kindergarten in every possible domain, such as language arts, science, mathematics, social emotional learning and beyond. Students can engage in science activities, music and movement classes.
