Highest Quality Early Childhood Development through Honoring Relationships Rooted in Equity and Social Justice

How are the children graphic

The Family Development Program is dedicated to an enduring mission – we seek to provide the highest quality early childhood development by honoring relationships that are deeply rooted in equity and social justice. 

At the heart of the Family Development Program’s work is an image of a child who is powerful, curious and infinitely competent as an active, dynamic learner. 

We believe that quality education for every child is our highest priority.  It defines not only who New Mexico is today but also speaks to every possibility for what New Mexico will become in the future.
