Founded in 1965, we have been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) since 1995. We use The Creative Curriculum in our programs. This play-based curriculum supports our philosophy, which is that children grow and learn best in an unhurried, non-stressful environment where peers, teachers, and family all play an important role. Our program strives for div
ersity in terms of our families, the learning environment, and activities offered. We are located in Albuquerque’s North Valley on Candelaria Road between 4th Street and 12th Street. You may contact us at 505.344.0389
