Our Teachers

Our child care providers have more than 5 years experience working with children. Our staff is encouraged to pursue continued education so that they can bring the newest techniques and strategies to your children’s curriculum. Our teachers are bilingual (English Spanish) and are supportive and nurturing to all students.

Philosophy

We use play-based teaching strategies, because we understand that children learn as they play. We focus on social emotional development in addition to academic learning and provide trainings for our teachers to implement strategies. The phrase “it takes a village..” is true. So, we also provide families with tools to support kids at home during their academic journey, creating partnerships with them.

Location

Near Dr. Ko’s office and Chaparral High School. Please call for directions :)

About our program

HELP New Mexico, Inc. (HELPNM) was created and incorporated as Home Education Livelihood Program, Inc. in 1965 by the interdenominational New Mexico Council of Churches and its successor, the New Mexico Conference of Churches and Church Women United. The founders included pastors, ranchers, farmworkers, housewives, businessmen and government workers. The HELPNM organization is governed by 18 Board of Directors representing sectors including public, business, low income, native American, parents and other community members.

Our Agency

HELPNM has collectively improved the lives of many New Mexicans. Our diverse work is administered through three executive branches: The Office of Economic Empowerment (OEE), Office of Learning & Academic Opportunity (OLAO) and the Office of Finance and Administration (OFA).

Together we maintain a diversified approach for program development that addresses the community needs that exist within the service areas. Through 25 offices across the state and with more than 200 employees, HELPNM works diligently to change lives and improve the communities that the agency serves. We focus on six pillars of service that includes varied programming for Employment, Education and Cognitive Development, Income and Asset Building, Housing, Health and Social/Behavioral Development, Civic Engagement and Community Involvement. HELPNM provides a delivery strategy that produces high levels of integration.
