September 2024 - We are currently experiencing system delays in the Nevada Child Care System (NCCS), which may result in delayed payments for some providers. The Child Care and Development Program is working diligently to resolve these issues.
Nevadachildcare.org is a complete resource to address the child care needs of parents and employers and to support early learning providers in sustaining their businesses and improving the quality of care provided.
Nevada Child Care Resource & Referral is a collaborative effort between the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services Child Care & Development Program, The Children’s Cabinet, and Las Vegas Urban League Early Childhood Connection.
What is Nevada Child Care Resource & Referral?
The Children’s Cabinet & Las Vegas Urban League partner to help parents take the guesswork out of choosing child care by providing referrals to licensed child care as well as information on quality. We support families to raise healthy children by providing information and training. We support providers to build the supply of child care and help our communities understand the critical importance of child care in supporting children’s development to ensure they are successful in school and in life.
