Important Notice about University of Nevada Campus Extension Courses

Beginning July 1, 2025, The University of Nevada, Reno Extension office has implemented modest fees for select initial training courses previously available at no charge. Please email Cathy Pesklakai at UNR Extension (cpeshlakai@unr.edu) with any questions about this change and/or to learn more about their courses.

More Information

The application for Family, Friend and Neighbor (FFN) Providers participating in the subsidy program is now available online at https://nevadachildcare.org/financialassistance/. The informational webinar for FFN providers which provides additional instruction and answers to some questions regarding the application and process has also been uploaded.

Based on questions and conversation regarding the appropriate use of funds for FFN providers that took place during the September 16, 2021 webinar, DWSS has determined that all FFN provider stipends will be considered WAGES and that no financial reporting on the use of funds will be required. FFN providers will still need to report on financial assistance provided to families, as well as the impact of the stipends. Providers will receive a reporting form upon approval of their application.

Please review the NOFO, application instructions and webinar recording for additional information.
