Do you have a child care story to share?

A coalition of organizations in Nevada are working to improve access to quality, affordable child care in Nevada. We are currently collecting stories from families and child care providers who have been impacted by changes to Nevada's Child Care Subsidy Program (financial assistance program for child care) or who want to share stories related to accessing child care in Nevada.

We will be collecting these stories to share with key decision-makers so they understand the importance of having access to quality child care programs that are affordable for families, as well as the supports that providers need to offer quality care. 

We will not share your name or contact information without your consent.

New Opportunity!! Share your thoughts with the Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council

The Nevada ECAC acts as a voice for families of young children 0-8 years old.  As they begin to develop their 3-year strategic plan to later share with the Governor’s Office and state agencies, they are requesting your thoughts and ideas on issues you may face as a parent, family member, or local community member within Nevada's Early Childhood System. The goal is to coordinate and align early childhood services for easier, accessible programs and services for all of Nevada's families. Your input can help to ensure the Strategic Plan reflects Nevada's families and local communities' real-life needs.
