New Mexico citizens overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
This is key because research shows the first five years of children’s lives are critically important for their development.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.
We need to make sure Congress continues to prioritize the needs of our littlest learners by prioritizing their access to child care while their parents work. Send a message to your members of Congress today – prioritize kids as we address the coronavirus pandemic!

Early Childhood Education programs have proven to lift kids out of poverty and prepare them for success in school and in life.
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's administration is pushing House Bill 83, which would create a trust fund for early education. Advocates for the bill, like Save the Children Action Network, or SCAN, say it would give the state a brighter future.
Save the Children Action Network State Manager, Lacey Daniell-Miller, spoke with The Richard Eeds Show about early childhood education programs and child care in New Mexico.
