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

Child care facility employees who are under 18 years of age (minors) are subject to a background check as a condition of employment.  These employees who are minors, must be fingerprinted and/or live-scanned. Please reference this NEWS post for further clarification.

Underage caregivers are required to complete all initial training required by Child Care Licensing. If under age 18, caregivers must have completed or be currently enrolled in a Child Development Course which is approved by The Nevada Registry. Not more than 50% of caretakers can be under age 18 and someone over age 18 must be on the premises during all hours of operation. There are no age restrictions for Registry membership. All caregivers in licensed facilities, including those under age 18, must apply/become active members of The Nevada Registry within 90 days of employment.
