Specifications include, but are not limited to: NMSU Grants request proposals from qualified Childcare provider(s) to operate an existing childcare center located on the New Mexico State University Grants Campus. A qualified provider must meet all applicable requirements for a 10,000 sq. ft. childcare facility. Child development services are to include infants and children ranging in age from 6 weeks to 12 years. The facility will operate from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. In addition, the operator will make the facility available to faculty and students of NMSU Grants as an observation and practicum site for students pursing a degree in Early Childhood Education.
