Advocacy

NMAEYC works tirelessly to advocate for the Early Childhood Education industry and for the children in our state. One recent success was the signing of House Bill 83 with Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. During this time of COVID-19 it is more important than ever to make sure that our childcare is supported as the the lifeline and essential service that it is.

Public Policy Institute

NMAEYC offers a public policy institute (PPI) where NMAEYC members, staff and board members are trained in advocacy and the legislative process.

Currently this is offered once a year with the start of the Legislative Session – but our goal is to offer more PPI’s throughout the year and at different sites around the state of New Mexico.
