Nevada PreK Standards

As a parent, you have the very important role of being your child’s first teacher.  In this role, you are able to work with your child’s teachers in helping your children with reading and writing.  Learning these skills will contribute to your child’s future success in school and beyond. Nevada’s Pre-kindergarten standards are a joint effort supported by the Nevada Department of Education’s Office of Special Education, Elementary and Secondary Education, and School Improvement Programs, as well as the State of Nevada, Department of Human Resources, Welfare Division, Child Care Assistance Department and the Child Care and Development Fund. These agencies have been challenged by the Good Start, Grow Smart initiative to work together to develop standards to be used by all early childhood education programs in Nevada as a guide for child outcomes for preschool.
