Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, caregiver, or professional, we know how important the early years are—and how overwhelming it can sometimes feel when you’re just starting your journey. There’s a lot of information coming your way, and we hope this issue helps make things a little easier to navigate.
Inside, you’ll find helpful tools, inspiring stories, and many resources. We’re highlighting two exciting ways that families can get involved in shaping how early childhood programs and systems work in New Hampshire. When families participate, they not only help improve services for everyone, but they also build stronger networks of support and learn more about how to navigate the systems that all families encounter along the way. We’re proud to share real stories from NH families about their unique early childhood experiences and a wonderful list of early childhood books, including many new titles you might not have seen yet. We recently launched our Early Childhood Hub, a new online space filled with easy-to-use tools designed to help you understand and support your child’s development from day one. These resources align with New Hampshire’s Early Learning Standards and include activity sheets that were created in partnership with Vroom®, a leader in brain-building science.
At the heart of all we do is a deep commitment to supporting families, children, and the professionals who work with them. If you ever have a question, need help finding resources, or just want to talk something through, please remember that you can call us anytime. Our support is always free and confidential. We’re here for you—every step of the way.
