Programs asking about supply needs can also email at child.care@state.nm.us to inform the Early Childhood Education and Care Department. Child care centers can also call 833-551-0518 if professional cleaning support is needed. There are also two Facebook pages for different regions in use. Vendors and providers are both posting to these sites. They are NM Child Care Resources Central Region and Childcare Resources SW Region. In most cases, supply requests can be filled within 2-48 hours. If needed supplies are not available, information on alternative sources can also be provided.
Request for Sharing of Excess Supplies: If any sites have excess stock of cleaning supplies, food, and/or especially baby formula, please share by contacting Terri Tapia and/or Brenda Kofahl.
