Every three years, the federal government redetermines how much money to give New Hampshire for childcare subsidies.
In New Hampshire, childcare subsidies are funded primarily by the federal Child Care and Development Fund. How much money the state receives is determined after it submits a required statistical analysis of statewide childcare costs and a plan for how federal dollars will be used.
