SA-ECCE is a FIVE STAR rated center for early childhood education in Albuquerque which makes it one of the best in the Metro. 

The FOCUS: Essential Elements of Quality, New Mexico’s Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS), provides early childhood program personnel with the criteria, tools, and resources they need to improve the quality of their program. These quality improvements focus on children’s growth, development, and learning—so that each child has an equitable opportunity to be successful when they enter school. This document contains the FOCUS: Essential Elements of Quality that provide a framework for public school preschool programs as they strive to make quality improvements. Together, the New Mexico Early Learning Guidelines - Essential Indicators with Rubrics and the FOCUS: Essential Elements of Quality provide Common Early Learning Program Standards, a standardized process for continuous quality improvement and standardized criteria for a common quality rating and improvement system.
