Little Corral Day School

Little Corral Day School is located on Constitution Avenue NE in Albuquerque's Far Northeast Heights, a growing family community with views of the Sandia Mountains. The center serves families in the NE Heights, Tanoan, High Desert, and Tramway areas. Parents value the spacious campus and the quieter pace of this part of the city, while still being close to shopping, parks, and the Sandia foothills trails.

All ABQ Childcare locations are NECPA accredited and hold a 5-Star rating through CYFD (New Mexico Children, Youth & Families Department). These distinctions recognize excellence in early childhood environments, curriculum, teacher qualifications, and classroom quality — verified through regular state evaluations.
