The State of New Mexico PreK Initiative

New Mexico PreK is a voluntary program funded by the state of New Mexico. The PreK program began in 2005 to ensure that every child in New Mexico has the opportunity to attend a high quality early childhood education program before going to kindergarten.

The Purpose of New Mexico PreK

Increase access to voluntary high-quality pre-kindergarten programs
Provide developmentally appropriate activities for New Mexico children
Expand early childhood community capacity
Support linguistically and culturally appropriate curriculum
Focus on school readiness

Teachers carefully plan indoor and outdoor activities based on what children need to learn in seven areas:

Listening, language, reading, and writing
Science
Counting, shapes, sorting and measuring
Coordination, hygiene, health, and well-being
Art, music, and movement
Independence, problem-solving, thinking and perseverance
Appropriate behavior, social skills and being a part of a group

You won’t see children sitting quietly at desks in a PreK classroom. PreK children are active – busy – working.
