We are pleased to announce that we had a 3-star rating at our old location from New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department - our State licensing entity. The star rating means that we have met many of the requirements for the 1-5 star ratings.  We are currently at 2 start, due to the new building and in the process of getting back to 3 stars.
This is based on criteria including; our low teacher-student ratios, curriculum, program environment, student assessment and development, staff development, and family involvement.
