Congratulations to Twins Learning Center, we are honored to work with you!

Twins Learning Academy Inc. Wins 2025 SBA New Mexico Family-Owned Small Business of the Year Award
Mother-Daughter Duo Honored for Transforming Albuquerque’s Childcare Landscape
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has named Twins Academy, Inc., co-owned by Norma Estrada and Erika Estrada Quezada, the 2025 New Mexico Family-Owned Small Business of the Year.

Norma, with over 25 years of experience and an Early Childhood Certificate from CNM, began caring for her twin granddaughters, inspiring Erika—then a nurse and new mother—to join her mother in building a legacy of care. Together, they pursued professional training opportunities, including the Crianza Accelerator Program, launched in 2018 by Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) in partnership with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at CNM in Albuquerque—a program hosted by the college to support local entrepreneurs. With guidance from SBDC Business Advisor Liliana Reyes, they transitioned their home-based model into a fully licensed childcare center. They opened their first center, Twins A & V, LLC, in the South Valley, followed by Twins Learning Center, Inc., and ultimately expanded to four centers—including their flagship location, Twins Academy, Inc., which today serves up to 170 children in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights.

Mark your calendars for on March 19th! In FY 2022–2023, 15,794 new businesses were started by SBDC clients—proof of the incredible impact Small Business Development Centers have on entrepreneurs nationwide. Join us in celebrating and learn more at AmericasSBDC.org/SBDCDay).
