June 30, 2026
The University of New Mexico Children’s Campus (UNMCC) has been awarded $4.71 million from the New Mexico Higher Education Department (HED) to expand access to high-quality early childhood education for UNM and community families. The award, part of a statewide initiative supporting child care expansion at five colleges and universities, reflects New Mexico’s national leadership in early childhood education and will fund the first phase of a long-envisioned expansion that will increase the Children’s Campus’ licensed capacity by 52 children. For dozens of UNM families, the expansion will mean greater access to high-quality early childhood education and the opportunity for parents to continue pursuing degrees, careers, and research while their children learn in a nurturing environment.
