Doña Ana County Early Childhood Education Coalition
When the Success Partnership formed in 2014, community leaders came together and identified early childhood education as the springboard for which all knowledge is built. Appropriately, the Doña Ana County Early Childhood Education Coalition (ECEC) emerged as the first pipeline of focus in the prenatal to career spectrum of our work.
Our Mission is to ensure every child in Doña Ana County has access to quality early childhood education. The ECE Coalition organizes, embraces, and communicates the needs and ideas of three primary goals (Action Networks): Children are Born into Healthy Homes, Children Are Ready for School, and The Early Childhood Workforce is Supported.

Early Childhood Education Coalition Depths of Relationships Survey
In 2014, Ngage New Mexico began building a network of committed leaders to improve the lives of children aged 0-8 in Doña Ana County–Thus forming the the Success Partnership’s Early Childhood Education Coalition. In the Fall of 2017, 2020, and 2023 members participated in a survey to examine the depth of their relationships. The survey data was collected, compiled, and analyzed by our backbone partner, The NMSU Center for Community Analysis. The Depths of Relationships (DOR) survey results show huge increases in inter-organizational partnerships and collaborations dedicated to providing access to quality care and early educational opportunities for our children.
The analysis examines the number and type of collaborations as reported by the organization. ECE collaborations increased by 440% between 2014 and 2023. For example, as of 2023, organizations reported 304 instances of sharing or being provided data and 431 instances of working together on a collaborative activity. In addition, the communication between organizations increased from 140 in 2014 to 797 instances in 2023. This ongoing increase in collaboration and communication is a positive sign for the future, reflecting the growing support and initiatives benefiting the ECE community
