People in New Hampshire overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
After years of work by advocates, supporters in New Hampshire and coalition partners, Governor Chris Sununu signed bipartisan legislation in 2017 that ensures more kids in the Granite State will have access to day kindergarten. We are continuing to push for full funding and increased access to high-quality early education, including full-day kindergarten, for all children in New Hampshire.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.
Your state representatives need to hear from you about why we cannot slash funding for New Hampshire’s Child Care Scholarship program, which helps low-income working families access child care.
New Hampshire is in a child care crisis.
Kids need high-quality child care for healthy development, and parents need child care so they can work.
Sen. Shaheen has become a co-sponsor of the Child Care Workforce and Facilities Act, bringing parents and other caregivers one step closer to not having to choose between work and child care.
