Hassan's office said HHS expanded Head Start eligibility after Hassan led colleagues calling for SNAP families to be included.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is a concrete partial delivery of the Head Start/pre-K access portion: the administration broadened categorical eligibility, and Hassan had taken a specific advocacy action shortly before the change. It does not establish delivery of the full-day kindergarten portion.

Hassan's office said signed funding legislation included increased funding for Child Care and Development Block Grant and Head Start programs.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The 2026 funding law is further partial progress on improving access through Head Start and child care funding during Hassan's later Senate service. The item still does not show enactment of a federal or New Hampshire full-day kindergarten guarantee.

Hassan can receive candidate credit for partial progress: during her first Senate term, HHS expanded Head Start eligibility for SNAP families after she led colleagues urging that change, directly improving access to Head Start. Later funding legislation also increased support for Head Start and child care programs during her continued Senate service. However, the evidence does not show that the broader promise was fully delivered, especially the full-day kindergarten component or a comprehensive federal/state guarantee of high-quality pre-K access.
