“East Gate Kids exists to make quantitative and qualitative differences in the lives of children and families of New Mexico.”

We strive to be a place where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. Through engaging activities, age-appropriate curriculum, and qualified and caring educators, we aim to foster children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. We believe that by partnering with families and the community, we can provide a solid foundation for each child's lifelong love of learning, as well as their personal and academic success.

Our vision is to instill in our future leaders a strong sense of purpose, integrity, and a commitment to lifelong learning by developing leaders who can inspire and motivate others, drive positive change, and shape a better future for all.
