Ayotte reiterates support for childcare workforce grant and Granite Steps funding at bill signing

At a recent bill signing event, New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte reaffirmed her backing for the Granite Steps for Quality and childcare workforce grant programs. Despite the state’s Executive Council repeatedly rejecting a contract that would allocate over $1 million to Granite Steps, Ayotte remains committed to these initiatives. These funds aim to bolster the quality and support of the childcare workforce, which is crucial for the state’s economic and social well-being, especially as families rely on affordable and high-quality childcare services. This ongoing support highlights the importance of investing in early childhood development and workforce stability.
