We will require you to sign a release allowing conversations between the center and the agency providing the assistance.  It is important that you understand that holidays, sick days, or any other days that you do not bring your children into the center require full payment from you for that day. The State of NH only assists with days your child(ren) attends. If you know your cost share you can contact the office, so we can figure out your co-pay.

Guardians provide diapers. Formula or breast milk ready to serve for bottle-fed babies. Each child requires an extra set of labeled clothing, along with a main meal for lunch and a few snacks for the afternoon with an ice pack.
