Policymakers would be wise to coordinate these early childhood resources into a scaffolding of developmental support for disadvantaged children and provide access to all in need.” #NMKidsCount #KidsAtTheCrossroads

Th The e re rest t of of th the e story tory • Current funding is serving only a fraction of our eligible children. • Eligibility for child care assistance is below 2001 levels (child care costs more than tuition at UNM). • Enrollment in child care assistance is 27% lower than it was in 2010. • NM needs a strong commitment to ECE and a stable and robust source of funding. #NMKidsCount #KidsAtTheCrossroads

Awareness of the impact of trauma — including generational trauma — is critical What can local communities do to expand ECE services and advocate collectively? #NMKidsCount #KidsAtTheCrossroads
