Children’s Learning Center

About

Catholic Charities Children’s Learning Center is your child’s home away from home, and a place where families can truly thrive.

Rooted in Catholic Charities’ mission to support families, strengthen communities, and help every child reach their potential, our Center provides high-quality early childhood education in a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment. Through New Mexico’s free universal childcare program, many families are able to access our services at no cost, removing financial barriers so children can receive the care and education they deserve from the very start.

Our dedicated team of trained, experienced, and compassionate teachers provides exceptional care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Every day, children are encouraged to explore, discover, grow, and thrive through play, curiosity, and loving guidance. As a 5-star licensed and NECPA-accredited program, we focus on building the strong academic, social, and emotional foundation children need for a confident transition into kindergarten and beyond.

We believe supporting children also means supporting their families. That’s why families enrolled in our Center have access to monthly food boxes and a wide range of Catholic Charities resources, including housing support, education, immigration, refugee support, and family stability services. By meeting both educational and basic needs, we help create stronger, more secure homes where children can flourish.

At Catholic Charities Children’s Learning Center, we’re not just caring for children; we’re walking alongside families and building brighter futures for our entire community.
