The Nevada Registry Advisory Committee (RAC) was established in 2005 and serves as a body to guide, advise and make policy recommendations for the career development and training approval system*. The RAC operates in accordance with The Nevada Registry’s Vision, Mission and Value Statement.
Committee Composition
The Nevada Registry Advisory Committee is an advising body with a broad range of professional representation across the state. The committee is comprised of representatives from various Early Childhood sectors who help guide the vision of The Nevada Registry.
Agency representatives are invited to participate based on the population represented by their program/agency (Higher Education, Center-Based Care, Home-Based Care, etc.) as well as the individual’s connection to, and understanding of, the childcare industry in Nevada. Members include, but are not exclusive to, at least one individual representing the following:
- Funding Agent
- CCDF Subsidy Representative
- Higher Education including two-year and four-year institutions
- State Department of Education
- Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS)
- Child Care Licensing
- Statewide Early Childhood Scholarship Program
- Nevada Pre-K Standards
- Head Start/Early Head Start
- School District-Based Pre-K Program
- Licensed Center-Based Child Care Provider (Urban and Rural)
- Licensed Family Day Care
- Tribal Child Care
Identified agencies have a standing position on the committee. Positions on the Advisory Committee are voluntary; however, agency representatives are asked to commit to a minimum of a two-year term. If an agency is unable to participate in accordance with the Member Agreement by maintaining representation on the committee, another agency representing the same or similar population will be invited to join the committee.
*RAC meetings occurred between 2005 – 2017 until being placed on temporary hiatus while the Training Approval System (TAS) Advisory Committee completed its work related to the new and approved training approval system (2017 – 2022; with representation from the RAC). Meetings were convened on an as-needed basis to review appeals. The RAC will officially reconvene in FY25 to support the ongoing growth and development of The Nevada Registry.
