Secretary Elizabeth Groginsky will share New Mexico’s journey toward Universal Child Care, highlighting the statewide movement that made it possible, the role of families and providers in shaping the system, and the lessons learned along the way. Her remarks will walk through the policy vision, implementation milestones, and the impact New Mexico is already seeing in family stability, educator wages, and child care access. She will also reflect on what it takes to build a durable early childhood system and why New Mexico’s work is increasingly viewed as the blueprint for the nation as other states look to replicate this progress.
