In response to the urgent need to stabilize the child care sector, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act included approximately $200 million for child care stabilization stipends in Nevada. The purpose of the funding is to stabilize the child care sector and to do so in a way that:
- rebuilds a stronger child care system that supports the developmental and learning needs of children,
- meets parents’ needs and preferences with equal access to high-quality child care, and
- supports a professionalized workforce that is fairly and appropriately compensated for the essential work that they do.
The deadline to apply is February 28, 2022.
