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.

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.
The Early Childhood Support Network (ECSN), a program of The Children’s Cabinet supports licensed child care providers by offering trained substitute educators when unexpected staffing needs arise. By helping programs maintain required adult-to-child ratios at all times, ECSN ensures classrooms remain safe, compliant, and open for the families who depend on them.
Great news for Nevada families! Nevada Ready PreK and some Head Start programs still have openings for the 2025–2026 school year, and thanks to updated eligibility guidelines, even more children may qualify for PreK this year.
