New Mexico launches first U.S. universal free childcare program for children ages 0-5, starting Nov. 1, 2025.
New Mexico is launching the first universal free childcare program in the U.S., starting November 1, 2025, offering free care for children from birth to age 5 regardless of income.
Funded by a voter-approved constitutional amendment using the Land Grant Permanent Fund, the initiative eliminates co-pays and income limits, saving families up to $12,000 annually.
It expands childcare access through 55 new centers, 120 licensed homes, and 1,000 registered homes, with a focus on rural and tribal communities.
Licensed providers must meet safety and staffing standards, while registered homes receive lower subsidies.
The program supports family stability, workforce participation, and child development, and includes supportive measures like low-interest loans and local outreach.
Officials say it’s a model for other states and a major step in treating childcare as essential infrastructure.
