Next steps for New Mexico’s next generation.
Thank you for your interest in taking our annual Early Childhood Family Engagement and Satisfaction Survey! The 2023 survey is now closed, however, if you’d like to participate next year, please fill out this brief contact form.
We want to hear from you — the dedicated parents and caregivers of young children in New Mexico. You care for them, and we want to best care for you.
By taking the annual Early Childhood Family Engagement and Satisfaction Survey, you can guide our next steps as your Early Childhood Education and Care Department. Every family and community is different, and by offering your voice, you can help us understand how to make our programs better for you and for families to come.
I want to participate next year
In the meantime, parents and caregivers of children ages 0-5 can find easy tips and free resources at MomentsNM.org.

As New Mexico’s new early childhood department — formed in 2020 as one of the first in the nation — we’re growing with you. When parents and caregivers complete our annual survey, it helps us understand what early childhood programs they use, what works well about them, and what improvements could be made to make them better for families.

Survey feedback informs childhood programs and resources that address:
- Language accessibility, culturally diverse materials, and financial support
- Program availability in communities
- Access to programs for children with developmental delays and/or disabilities
- Overall awareness of programs

Together, the Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD) and Project ECHO are working to understand the needs of New Mexico’s families by listening directly to parents and caregivers themselves. From these learnings, your early childhood department can make adjustments and grow to better serve you and the young ones you care for.

What did we learn from last year’s survey?
2022 was the first year of the annual Early Childhood Family Engagement and Satisfaction Survey. From listening to parents and caregivers across the state, we learned that:
Three out of four respondents said finding child care affected their ability to work outside of the home.
More than three out of every five respondents (62 percent) experienced food insecurity last year.
Two-thirds of respondents (65 percent) experienced needing services, support, or care that they could not provide on their own.
Based on written-in responses, access to aftercare and summer programs would benefit children’s development and socialization while also allowing parents and caregivers to work or take care of other household needs.
