What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Pre-K and Childcare
Our program for children six weeks to four years of age recognizes every child’s natural joy for learning. We offer a quality early education experience that draws on innovation and research—and children’s innate curiosity—to prepare students for success in kindergarten and far beyond.
Home Visiting
Our home visiting program provides support for parents—prenatally through the first five years of a child’s life. Weekly visits by trained professionals offer individual and family support, guidance, and resources that promote confident, healthy, and happy families.
Great Start Family Support
Prenatal and postpartum support beginning at the end of pregnancy, lasting through the first 6 weeks after baby arrives. Lactation professionals support parents with infant feeding, infant development, postpartum recovery, and provide connections to community resources
Escalones
Many families use home-based caregivers for child care. This innovative program provide support and resources for caregivers to gain valuable insights into child development, healthy attachment, early education, and business practices. Providers can be licensed, registered, or have more informal operations, and can access incentives, coaching, peer networks and more
Dolly Parton's Imagintion Library
Founded by Dolly Parton in 1995, the Imagination Library Program helps to boost reading among young children and their families. Every month, a book selected by a panel of experts is delivered for free to the family’s mailbox—from the time a child is born until the age of five.
Bridges to Opportunity
Bridges to Opportunity provides one-on-one guidance for families, meeting them where they are with compassion and without judgement. The program promotes long-term resiliency by connecting families to community resources and other tools needed to thrive. Above all, Bridges to Opportunity empowers families to be their own goal setters, problem solvers, and advocates in order to reach their full potential.
Policy and Systems Change
Alongside deep community listening, all of our programs
and operations inform our policy work with the goal of
growing an efficient and effective system of education and
care throughout the state of New Mexico. Working through
public and private partnerships, we advocate for concrete
improvements and provide information, analysis and other
support for key decision makers.
