About us

Connecting families to resources since 2003

Community Partnership for Children (CPC) coordinates and supports partnerships and collaborations within Grant County. CPC is one of fifteen Coalitions throughout the state of New Mexico under the Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD). We strive to identify and create collaborative projects that close existing barriers within childcare and the local workforce to better meet the increased needs of families and businesses.

  Above all CPC's focus is to improve early childhood education.
