Childcare Forum

Description

Join business leaders, legislators, media, and key stakeholders on November 17, 2026, at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College as we explore innovative solutions for childcare and early education that align public policy with private sector innovation.

The day has two parts. Join us for both or choose the one that fits your schedule.

Part One: 8:30 to 10:00 AM | Business Leadership in Action: Advancing Childcare Solutions for New Hampshire’s Workforce 

New Hampshire’s workforce depends on reliable childcare, and the business community is helping drive solutions. Learn from business and state leaders implementing solutions today and celebrate employer successes. Light breakfast is included.

Part Two: 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM | Investing in Early Education

Build on the morning with a substantive conversation about how New Hampshire can expand access to quality early education and support the providers already serving our communities.

The program includes new findings from Saint Anselm College on where NH communities stand on local zoning for childcare, with recommendations to better support providers and municipalities, as well as the Education Commission of the States on national early education trends and how they connect to K-12. Additional featured keynote and panel speakers will be announced soon. Lunch is included for all attendees.

Space is limited, so RSVP by November 10 to secure your seat.
