CONCORD — The state is offering child care workers another incentive to stay in the field: temporary subsidies to help pay for their own children’s care. The assistance is aimed at workers who earn too much to qualify for New Hampshire’s existing child care subsidy but still struggle to afford child care.
The hope is that more child care workers will expand child care options and allow parents to go back to work.
