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

child playing in grassAs the Family Development Program grapples with the question:  How are the children? – the urgency of unacceptable answers marked by alarming statistics continues to drive us to work toward solutions for the well-being of all children in our state.  We believe that our children are the essential resource for New Mexico’s future.  We hold ourselves accountable to take a stand with families and community to achieve shared goals that will essentially transform New Mexico to be a place where children are at the heart of our communities and our state -- just like they are in our beloved families.
