Spark NH Early Childhood Advisory Council

New Hampshire has struggled to deliver early childhood programs and services for its youngest residents. Instead of operating as one coordinated system, the state sometimes seemed to be running on spare parts alone.

An "Orchestra" of Coordination for New Hampshire's Children

Spark NH was formed to advance a comprehensive, coordinated system of early childhood programs and services — and to deliver the most efficient, productive outcomes.

Think of Spark NH's work as building an orchestra. Talented players from across New Hampshire are invited to come together and create something extraordinary for the state's children — from birth through grade 3 — and their families.

New Hampshire youth supports

Professionals in health, early learning and development, family leadership, and support sectors are collaborating like never before to better meet the needs of children.

A Comprehensive Early Childhood Strategic Plan

If Spark NH is an orchestra, the strategic plan is its score.

The comprehensive Early Childhood Strategic Plan sets how and when every part works together. How well the orchestra sounds depends on leadership that can create harmony among all the parts, and on dedicated practice by musicians who have the resources they need.
