seeking input on your experiences with our program receiving referrals, outreach, marketing materials, our website, Live Chat, training, technical assistance, consultation and coaching services
.
Your responses to our survey will help to inform future planning of our program services.
Please note this survey is regarding services provided directly by Southern NH Services' Child Care Aware of NH program.

Easing Worries and Fears with Deep Breathing
from Zero to Three

Breathing practices are simple enough to do with young children. When you breathe together, you are calming yourself and helping your child learn a way to find calm at the same time.

July is National Fireworks Safety Month and National Heat Stroke Month!
Fireworks Safety Month
"Summer is synonymous with barbecues, parades and fireworks. The National Safety Council advises everyone to enjoy fireworks at public displays conducted by professionals, and not to use any fireworks at home. They may be legal but they are not safe."
National Safety Council
National Heatstroke Prevention Month and Day
"July is National Heatstroke Prevention Month with July 31st being National Heatstroke and Prevention Day. As summer heats up, heatstroke continues to be the number one vehicle-related killer of children, outside of car crashes, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Children are more vulnerable to heatstroke than adults, especially in the summer months and when it starts to get hot outside.
