The House Appropriations Committee approved the SFOPs appropriations bill, which includes funding for critical development programs impacting children.
The House Labor HHS Appropriations bill will increase funding for early childhood education programs, such as Head Start, and help kids succeed nationwide.

SB-191 is a bipartisan bill that will expand state funding for full-day kindergarten programs in New Hampshire.
While this budget deal allows children to continue to learn and thrive in their early childhood education and care programs and makes several vital investments, we still have work to do make sure that all children have access to high-quality early learning programs.
