| Abstract: | The Carsey School of Public Policy's Granite Guide to Early Childhood series highlights issues in New Hampshire's early care and education (NH ECE) sector by synthesizing evidence on a set of interconnected topics. This primer focuses on operating costs for New Hampshire child care programs. Child care programs have complex budgets; tuition revenue is often insufficient for operations. Labor is the costliest element of child care program operation, accounting for around 70 percent of expenditures. A lack of data limits planning for a high-quality early care and education system that is financially sustainable. |
