This session, featuring guest speaker and researcher Michael Kalinowski, will focus on reviewing the latest Market Rate Survey that served as a foundation for establishing the newly adopted NH Child Care Scholarship rates. In addition, we will be exploring the child care workforce shortage through numerous data points including the recent Early Childhood Workforce Study, CRRSA, ARPA and the NH Connections Information System along with highlighting the statewide and local initiatives focused on helping address the issues around workforce and staffing needs. Discussions cover both early childhood (birth through preschool) and school-age (K through grade 5) programs. This session will take place on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM.
