Small Classes So Teachers Genuinely Know Your Child
Your 2-year-old’s class has a low 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio, so every teacher has the chance to truly get to know each little personality. Your child receives the personalized attention they deserve to grow and thrive.
Your Child Feels At Home In A Diverse Classroom
Teachers and peers reflect the diversity of the area and your own culture. Your child feels at home with people who respect their heritage and individuality, with educators who model ways to treat others with the same respect.
Nurturing Teachers Customize Curriculum For Strengths & Needs
Your child’s teacher bases all individual and group activities on observing and assessing your child’s and the class’s needs. Teachers have freedom within the NM Early Learning Standards to tailor the curriculum to best serve their little learners.
Fully-Stocked Learning Spaces That Spark Exploration & Fun
You never hear your child say they feel bored! Their classroom is a wonderland of kid-friendly activities and has the space and materials they need to grow, ignite their imagination, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Outdoor Areas Designed Just For Little Explorers
Your 2-year-old’s playground is perfectly sized and equipped for energetic littles. They have a safe place to explore, test new motor skills, and burn off their sit-still energy, all designed and installed just for them!
Early Gardening Education For A Healthy Head Start
Your little one begins to learn about where food comes from when they explore the gardens. As part of the Farm-to-Preschool pilot program, your child gets gardening education and brings home fresh veggies and recipe cards for the whole family.
Fresh, Healthy, Chef-Made Food Included In Your Tuition
Chef Ryan loves harvesting the gardens and connecting with other local growers to make fresh, delicious, allergen-conscious meals and snacks for your child every day. They get the nutrition they need, and you save time and money packing food.
Fun In-House Visitors Bring Community To The Classroom

My daughters LOVE going to school here. My kindergartner is still asked about and how much they miss her by Miss Gabby and Miss Anna. Now my pre-k daughter is enjoying it but misses Miss Catalina. I’m VERY thankful for the teachers there at Gila❤️ I always recommend this place

I will forever rave about AGSA! From the very first day I felt at ease and comfortable trusting them with my 7 and 5 year old. Both of my children have been with AGSA since they were babies. The whole staff are welcoming and you can see and feel that they care for their students which is amazing! I applaud how Marissa runs the center. She is doing an amazing job. I highly recommend them for childcare.

Love my sons daycare he comes home with something new he has learned daily! I have struggled with daycares that click with my 2 year old and all of gold star teacher especially G3, have gotten to know and understand my son for who he is and it has benefited him so much to have a teacher that understands him. He may be 2 but he has big feelings and he lets the world know them! Grateful for his teachers!

My son finished the Pre K program and all I have are positive experiences. He learned a lot and everyday he’d come back and surprise me by the things he was taught. I am sad he is moving on but we’ve got our next child who will be attending this fall. I’ve reached a comfort in knowing and trusting that my child is safe in this school. Good school and great teachers. Ms Lana is the best. Very polite and helpful.

Both of my children have been enrolled at Gold Star Elm since they were 3 months old. All of the teachers and their different personalities make for a great atmosphere for any child. Communication is great between teachers and parents. I am thankful for a place where I know my children are safe & well taken care of every day by the staff!

She started at 12mo and has flourished in the classroom. Her teacher is so attentive and fun and charismatic, she has a connection with each kid and she really takes her time with them. Front office staff are knowledgeable and helpful, even for this first time mama who cried after dropping my kid off the first day. 100% recommend this place.
- Ashley
My daughter and her best friend both attended for the 18-19 Pre K year. My daughter had two amazing teachers who my daughter absolutely adored! Not only do I feel that she is now better equipped in her educational preparedness, but also in her social readiness to go to Kindergarten next year. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!
- Michayla Slade
I absolutely love this child care center! I attended when I was a toddler and a young child. Now, my children go there and they love it. The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing, as well as the owner. I have trusted this childcare center with my kids for years as well as my parents trusting it for me when I was younger. I would definitely recommend this childcare center!
