New Mexico has shown the nation what’s possible: free childcare can lift families out of poverty, Support parents, and improve children’s futures. Since introducing its free childcare program in 2022, New Mexico has allegedly helped over 120,000 people escape poverty. The policy covers families earning under 400% of the federal poverty line — that’s more than half the state’s families.
