The City of Sunland Park acknowledges the community-led recognition of at-home childcare providers held on May 11, 2026. This event, hosted at the Multi-Gen Building, focused on the essential work these individuals perform for families in the Paso del Norte region. The gathering provided a space to address the dedication required to maintain safe, nurturing environments for our local children.

Mayor Pro Tempore Raul T. Telles Jr., Councilor Bertha Salmon, and representatives for State Representative Raymundo Lara participated in the discussion regarding resources for early childhood educators. The dialogue emphasized the role of these providers as a foundation for regional stability and family support. Providing a venue for these discussions ensures that the voices of those working in the childcare sector remain part of the broader community conversation.

The city facilities serve as a hub for various community initiatives and information sharing. This recognition of the labor provided by local caretakers helps strengthen the social infrastructure of our neighborhood.
