Families Have a Voice: Get Involved with the Kids First Nevada Coalition
Families play a powerful role in shaping the future of early childhood programs—and the Kids First Nevada Coalition is making it easier than ever to get involved.
The coalition brings together parents, caregivers, educators, community organizations, and leaders from across Nevada with one shared goal: to build a stronger, more coordinated early childhood system so every child can thrive.
Why It Matters for Your Family
Raising a young child comes with many needs—child care, health services, early learning, and family supports. Right now, these systems can be hard to navigate. The Kids First Nevada Coalition is working to improve how these services connect so families can more easily find what they need.
The vision is simple:
- Children are healthy, safe, and ready to learn
- Families can access the support they need
- Programs work together in a way that makes sense for families
How Families Can Get Involved
You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference—your experience as a parent or caregiver matters.
Families are encouraged to join and:
- Share their experiences and help shape policies
- Stay informed about early childhood programs and opportunities
- Connect with others who care about children’s success
- Help advocate for better, more accessible services for all families
What the Coalition Is Working Toward
Kids First Nevada is focused on improving early childhood systems across the state, including:
- Expanding access to Pre-K through a mixed-delivery system (schools, child care, and community programs)
- Improving coordination across programs and agencies
- Strengthening investments that support children, families, and Nevada’s future workforce
Join the Movement
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or caregiver of a young child, your voice is essential. By joining the Kids First Nevada Coalition, you can help ensure Nevada’s early childhood system works better for all families.
