ECECD Reaffirms Commitment to Support Native American Early Education in New Mexico 

SANTA FE – Today, as Native American Heritage Month draws to a close, the New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD) reaffirms its commitment to advance an early childhood system across Indigenous communities that strengthens educational supports, builds government-to-government relationships, and fosters mutual trust, understanding, and partnerships, while respecting tribal sovereignty. Since the department’s inception, ECECD has made support of culturally and linguistically appropriate early education in Native American communities central to its mission.
