Lead the Way: Grow as a Leader with the Early Childhood Networks

New Mexico’s Early Childhood Networks support early childhood educators through meaningful, peer-driven professional development. Educators gain access to training, coaching, and community, all guided by experienced leaders in key Network roles.

Each Network is led by a group of dedicated educators in Lead roles: Lead Mentor, Lead Infant-Toddler Teacher, Lead Director, Lead Home-Based Provider, and Spoke Manager. These part-time leadership roles (5–15 hours/week) involve a variety of duties, such as facilitating monthly meetings, recruiting peers, providing professional guidance, and helping build strong Networks across the state. All Leads receive a generous stipend, ongoing training, and opportunities to grow their leadership skills. Bilingual educators are especially encouraged to apply.

Each leadership role offers a chance to make an impact while advancing your professional journey. Leadership meetings begin in July.
