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.
The Nevada Maternal and Child Health Coalition has teamed up with community partners statewide to offer New Mama Care Kits! These kits are specifically designed to support anyone pregnant or recently postpartum.
As parents, we want the best for our children and their growth. From the moment they are born, we observe their every milestone with excitement. Developmental screenings play an essential role in ensuring that your child is progressing in all areas of development. Learn more about these important tools!
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.
