New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill into law, making the states universal child care program permanent. The program, launched last November, has already enrolled thousands of more children and approved new providers. The funding comes from an early childhood trust fund, which has grown to nearly eleven billion dollars due to oil production. The bill also includes provisions for raising early childhood worker wages and safeguards to ensure sustainability. The move is seen as a significant step forward in family support and could attract businesses to the state.
