The NewMexicoKids.org Early Childhood Education and Care Family Services Portal is an online tool for parents and families to find child care services, childhood development programs, early childhood education, and developmental delay intervention services. This tool, along with all services provided by the New Mexico Early Childhood Services Center, is free to use for all New Mexico families.
We require a valid address and a selected radius (from the "miles" dropdown on the homepage) in order to retreive search results. If you see an error that says all fields are required, be sure you are selecting a valid address from the search bar and that you have a radius selected. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact our support by sending us an email at support@newmexicokids.org
The goal of New Mexico Kids Child Care Resource and Referral and the New Mexico Kids Early
Childhood Education and Family Services Portal is to assist families in finding the widest
range of available early childhood services and to encourage parents and guardians to act on
their own knowledge and feelings as they select services from among these possibilities. If
you have questions about early childhood services, please call our Resource and Referral
line to connect with a Family Services Specialist for a consultation and free custom
referral at 1 (800) 691 - 9067 or 1
(505) 277 - 7900 (for the Albuquerque and surrounding Metro areas).
Families should contact the early childhood options they are considering and ask questions
pertaining to issues that are important to them. Visit the program as many times as you need
to feel comfortable making a final decision. Review inspection reports on licensed child
care programs to help you make the best decision for your family. Please utilize this
checklist Selecting Child Care to help with decisions or use the Parent Guide for more
guidance.
