Quality education, health care, nutrition, and family support during the first five years is proven to help children develop the social, emotional and cognitive skills they need to succeed in grade school and in life. This is why Nevada offers a broad array of no-cost programs, services and resources for families with young children, no matter your household income level.
From financial assistance to help you pay for child care, to programs that will get your child ready for kindergarten and beyond, find the services and programs your family needs.
Whether you’re trying to secure financial assistance to help you pay for your child’s health care, or wondering what questions to ask your child’s pediatrician, you can start here.
We can help you find the best resources to determine if your child is on track. If there is a developmental delay, find out how to get the extra help your child needs.
From learning what types of diet and nutrition are best for your children, to resources that will help you pay for food so you can put healthy meals on the table, we can help.
Our children don’t come with an instruction manual. From classes on child birth and dealing with difficult behaviors, to assistance to help make ends meet, support is never far to help you become the best parent you can be.
First 5 Nevada is hosting a FREE Early Childhood Screening and Connection event to provide no-cost screenings – health, developmental, behavioral – and provide on-site referral to programs and services for families with young children. We’ll also have fun activities for children and families, with free give-aways and crafts.
Partners throughout the state host a variety of community events and trainings designed to engage families, provide valuable resources, and promote early childhood development. From workshops and educational sessions to fun, interactive activities for kids, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
