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 Who Personalize Learning Every Day
At Gold Star Academy, our teachers thoughtfully observe each child and group to guide daily activities that support individual strengths, interests, and developmental needs. Working within the New Mexico Early Learning Standards, they have the flexibility to tailor instruction and experiences that best support their classroom, ensuring every child is engaged, supported, and growing through meaningful, developmentally appropriate learning.
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
At Gold Star Academy, children are introduced early to gardening and healthy living through hands-on exploration in our gardens. As part of our Farm-to-Preschool pilot program, little learners discover where food comes from, help care for plants, and build an appreciation for fresh, nutritious foods—often bringing home fresh vegetables and simple recipe ideas to enjoy with their families.
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.
Stay Connected with the All-Inclusive Procare® App

What Are Your Cleaning & Sanitization Protocols?
The health and safety of our children, families, and staff are always a top priority at Gold Star Academy. Our team follows strict daily cleaning and sanitization procedures to maintain a safe, healthy, and welcoming environment throughout our schools.
Classrooms, bathrooms, common areas, toys, learning materials, and all high-touch surfaces are cleaned and sanitized multiple times throughout the day using childcare-approved cleaning products. Staff members closely follow state licensing regulations and health guidelines to help reduce the spread of germs and illness.
In addition to daily deep cleaning routines, we emphasize proper handwashing practices, maintain organized and hygienic classroom environments, and regularly sanitize shared spaces and equipment. Our goal is to provide families with peace of mind knowing their children are learning and growing in a clean, safe, and well-cared-for environment every day.
What Security & Safety Measures Are in Place?
At Gold Star Academy, creating a safe and secure environment for every child is one of our highest priorities. Our schools are designed with multiple layers of safety and security measures to help provide families with peace of mind each day.
All centers feature restricted-access entrances that require uniquely assigned codes to help ensure only authorized individuals may enter the building. Security cameras are utilized throughout the facility for internal monitoring, and our playgrounds are fully enclosed with secure fencing designed to provide safe outdoor play spaces for every age group.
In addition, all staff members are thoroughly screened and trained in emergency procedures, including CPR and First Aid certification. Our team regularly practices safety protocols and maintains close supervision of children at all times. We also follow strict check-in and check-out procedures to ensure every child is safely accounted for throughout the day.
From secure facilities to highly trained staff, we are committed to maintaining a safe, nurturing, and protected environment where children can learn, play, and thrive with confidence.
