OUR CORE VALUES

Our Mission

The mission New Mexico Children First Learning Center, in collaboration with our parents and community, is to provide children quality childcare and learning experiences while providing excellent education in a healthy and safe learning environment where children are prepared with the critical skills, development of social, creative, emotional, physical, and intellectual skills to reach their full potential.

Philosophy

We believe in the value of human diversity and the fair treatment of all people. It is our number one goal to provide the kind of environment and the kind of influences that encourage all children to become creative, independent, responsible, well rounded, self-directed adults who can make decisions for themselves. Our desire is for excellence in meeting the needs of children and their families. Our philosophy of childcare is deeply rooted in the history of Early Childhood Education.

Feel The Difference

What gives our learning center the quality you feel the moment you enter are the “pillars” of belief that support them. There are four core beliefs on which everything centers at our campus.

Experiential Learning
We help children connect with their surroundings in new ways, so they discover what is meaningful to them in the moment and in the future.
Community
A child’s educational success in large part depends on families, educators, peers and relevant members of the community.
Collaboration
Sharing new experiences and solving problems with others leads to a greater sense of connectedness – as well as meaningful learning experiences.
Proven Models
Our educational model has been developed by educators around the world. The human connection must be a key component of learning. Our main goal is to have every student ready to succeed in Kindergarten.
