Description

Early Head Start Quarterly Report for April 2026 through June 2026

Summary

EC-26-240 is an informational Executive Communication presenting Albuquerque’s Early Head Start quarterly report for April–June 2026. It requires no approval, cost, or City revenue; the federally funded program is administered by the City’s Youth & Family Services Division. The report covers compliance, finances, enrollment, attendance, health, education, family services, and governance. Enrollment declined from 40 to 19 of 64 funded slots, while attendance remained below the 85% federal benchmark. In April, the City decided to relinquish the federal grant at the end of FY26 and transition services to state-funded Pre-K and preschool programs. Staff coordinated family transitions, inventories, and service continuity, including partnerships with other providers. The report also formally documents dissolution of the Early Head Start committee.
