Why ABQ Childcare
Many of our families are second-generation: parents who attended as children now bring their own kids. That kind of trust isn't built overnight.
Founded in 1974, we're one of Albuquerque's most established childcare providers. Our legacy is built on consistency and care.
The highest quality designation from NM CYFD across all four of our locations. Excellence isn't optional. It's our standard.
Nutritious breakfast, lunch, and two snacks daily through the CACFP program, at absolutely no cost to families.
Daily photos, activities, and milestones sent straight to your phone through the Brightwheel parent app.
Our Programs
From your baby's first discoveries to Pre-K graduation day, our play-based curriculum is designed for each stage of development.
Parent Stories
The best measure of a childcare center is the trust parents place in it. Here's what our families have to say.
My daughter has been at ABQ Childcare for three years now, and I can't imagine her anywhere else. The teachers genuinely love what they do. You can see it in how the kids light up every morning.
