Abstract

PioneersEXPANDING CHILDCARENew Mexico in 2025 became the first U.S. state to offer free universal childcare for children from 6 weeks to age 13. The result of a yearslong effort by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and the state legislature, the program expands a 2022 initiative offering free childcare for families earning up to 400% of the federal poverty level. She says access to childcare is essential for public health, child development, and the state's economy.—Dominique MosbergenPHOTO (COLOR) [Extracted from the article]
