APS Early Childhood Collaboration & Open Spots
We at APS want families to make an informed decision in regards to selecting a preschool program for their child to attend. We actively collaborate and share enrollment numbers with our community based partners. We are committed to helping you find the program that is the best fit for your child and family. Below is the list of community providers who may have openings. If interested please contact these providers for more information regarding their program.
These are several NM Pre-k, private program providers we collaborate with.
If the program provided us with the website, please click on the program name.
If you are a director or principal and would like to be added to our chart please follow this link to google form to be added.
