Go New Mexico!! I'm still limiting my news consumption these days and had missed this major step forward. Hope other states will follow suit! (Living here in Ohio ... I'm not exactly optimistic, but you never know ...)

I didn’t know about NM’s free childcare. Would love to read a study about what that does for women, in particular, in terms of economics and personal fulfillment.

A less comprehensive policy intervention, but there is some good research on universal PreK enrollment and family earnings. NBER’s The Digest has a story “ Universal Pre-K Access and Parental Earnings” about one from New Haven and I think I might remember there’s one from Boston, too.
