Keres Children’s Learning Center (KCLC) strives to reclaim our children’s education and honor our heritage by using a comprehensive cultural and academic curriculum to assist families in nurturing Keres-speaking, holistically healthy, community minded, and academically strong students.The Keres Children’s Learning Center (KCLC) is a Keres-language revitalization school that uses an intergenerational approach to immersion and dual language with Montessori pedagogy to give our children (ages 2½ –12) the best of both worlds—an opportunity for children to learn through their heritage language of Keres while simultaneously accessing an academic curriculum that challenges their intellect and values their whole being.KCLC has created the following initiatives: our annual Native Language symposium, a community Outdoor Classroom, a Mentor-Apprentice program, and the Indigenous Montessori Institute. KCLC is a powerful advocate for families reclaiming their children’s education, Indigenous communities revitalizing their languages, the importance of early childhood, and the need for anti-biased and anti-racist education.KCLC is an independent nonprofit organization, guided by our Board, operating with the blessing of the Cochiti Tribal Council, and supported by foundations, individuals, the Administration for Native Americans, and New Mexico’s Indian Affairs Department.
