NM ECECD - A valuable partner! Here’s to another brilliant year!
As we look back on a year of partnership and progress, ECECD reflects on milestones that show what is possible when early childhood work is led by community, culture, and Tribal leadership.
The New Mexico Early Childhood Tribal Advisory Coalition (NMECTAC) plays a critical role in ensuring Tribal voices guide early childhood policy and systems across the state.
On November 13, NMECTAC convened at the Pueblo of Pojoaque, bringing together Tribal leaders and partners to engage in dialogue, share priorities, and provide guidance that strengthens early childhood efforts for Native children, families, and communities.
We are grateful to the Pueblo of Pojoaque for hosting and to NMECTAC members for their continued leadership, insight, and commitment to advancing culturally grounded early childhood systems rooted in Tribal sovereignty.
