About Us
At Gadsden On Track Pre-K, we believe every child deserves the best start. As a New Mexico Pre-K funded program and a proud part of the Gadsden Independent School District, we offer a 100% free, high-quality education to 3-year-old and 4-year-old children. We combine the resources of the Gadsden Independent School District with a play-based curriculum designed to foster curiosity and a love for learning.
Learning Through Play
We believe in individualizing every child’s educational journey. Our nurturing classrooms are designed to bring out the best in every child through intentional teaching, where children learn through play. We focus on the "whole child," ensuring they grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally.
