Calendar New Mexico Highlands Child Care Center follows the NMHU student calendar. We close for official holidays, spring break and between semesters. We also close if classes are canceled due to weather conditions. Nutrition Program Our center participates in the Child Care Food Program. We serve a nutritious breakfast, a hot noon meal and an afternoon snack every day.
Nutrition education is part of our program.
Good eating habits are encouraged and children often participate in preparation of snacks or part of a meal. Parents who need assistance to pay their child care services should contact the local Child Care Bureau at the New Mexico Human Services Department. Our professional staff of lead teachers and the program director all have extensive training and experience in early childhood education. The support staff includes experienced teacher aides, student workstudy aides, and volunteers from the Foster Grandparent Program and the United World College. Staff development includes regular training conferences and workshops for the core staff and an on-site training program for student aides and new staff.
