In-Home Child Care Providers: Expand Your Business in a CARE Nevada Property

Care Access Real Estate (CARE) Nevada is a partnership between The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services Division of Welfare and Supportive Services, The Children's Cabinet, and Mission Driven Finance designed to expand licensed child care in Clark County by matching selected child care providers with homes that are ideal for group child care operations and managed by a child care friendly landlord.

If you have experience providing home-based child care (FFN or Family Child Care), live in Clark County, rent your current home or apartment, and have a desire to obtain a Group Child Care license, you may be a good candidate for the CARE Nevada program. 

More about the CARE Nevada Program

CARE finds and purchases properties that can be renovated into ideal child care homes for large family child care/group child care operations. In partnership with local ecosystem partners, CARE offers the properties to pre-qualified child care providers who meet the criteria of a CARE tenant.
