Great News For New Hampshire Families!
This expansion streamlines the Childcare Scholarship program and improves access to childcare for New Hampshire families. Access to childcare means improved job security, so New Hampshire residents can support their families and their local economy. We have more exciting childcare and family planning bills in the works for 2026- excited to share with you soon!
Starting January 1: Families applying for scholarships will get help IMMEDIATELY. No more waiting weeks for approval while trying to find a slot for your children.
Already happening (started Dec 1): Child care providers have a simpler billing system that reduces paperwork and helps them get paid more predictably. Less administrative burden means more time focusing on kids!
The scholarship program helps families earning up to $113,431 (for a family of four) afford quality child care. Currently, only about one in ten eligible children is enrolled.
