In today’s workforce market it is increasingly difficult to attract and retain talent. Having five generations in the employee pool, who have very different needs, can be confusing for employers to navigate. What is the correct benefit and policy package to meet their diverse workforce needs?
Research demonstrates that caregiving is a major barrier for individuals entering and staying in the workforce. In Nevada and across the nation, families with young children are met with significant cost and accessibility issues when trying to access child care.
Employers can play a critical role in recruiting and retaining top talent by understanding the difficulties these child care barriers present. The Children’s Cabinet is proud to support Nevada businesses in taking a deep dive into their family-friendly benefits and policies.
We will be launching a Summer Webinar Series for HR professionals and Nevada executives to build a foundational understanding of how child care impacts our workforce and employer-driven solutions to create a return on investment. Join us for this 4-part series as we bring together industry experts in a one-hour lunch & learn webinar format.

March is a special month for families who love stories, imagination, and a good dose of childhood wonder—it’s when we celebrate Dr. Seuss Day. This year, Nevada families have an extra-special way to join the fun: the 2026 Seuss-A-Palooza, a free, family-friendly celebration hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno Extension and the North Las Vegas Library District.
Young children experience big feelings as they learn to communicate, build relationships, and navigate the world around them. While these moments are a natural part of development, some families face ongoing behavioral challenges that can feel overwhelming without support.
In December, the La Fuerza de Familias Latinas team from Literacy Partners spent a week in Nevada connecting with families and community partners around a shared commitment to biliteracy, early literacy, and family engagement. Each stop reinforced a core belief: when parents and caregivers are supported, children’s learning grows stronger.
