flag New Mexico will launch universal free child care Nov. 1, 2025, under a 2022 constitutional amendment.

flag New Mexico is set to launch universal free child care for all families starting November 1, 2025, becoming the first state to do so under a 2022 constitutional amendment. flag The program aims to expand access, improve educator wages through a career ladder system, and address a shortage of nearly 14,000 child care slots, especially in rural and underserved areas. flag While supported by state leaders and advocates, providers have raised concerns about funding stability, regulatory changes, and the sustainability of proposed wage increases, urging clearer guidance and long-term financial commitments.
