The choices Nevada makes about early childhood policies affect families today and for years to come. The 2026 Legislative Interim is a key moment to shape those choices before laws are written and voted on. By staying engaged, sharing your experiences, and learning alongside others, families help build a stronger future for Nevada’s youngest children.
Act4Kids Nevada is conducting a survey to gather input directly from families about the social, physical, educational, and economic impacts of raising a child with medical needs in Nevada. We know that the family voice matters — you can help improve healthcare access for children across our state.
