Strong Start for Children is seeking committee members to participate in the Strong Start Child Care Provider Action Committee.

Nevada is seeking to expand early childhood education services. To do this well, there needs to be avenues for communication with the providers who deliver those services. The purpose of this group is to ensure providers have a central role in Nevada’s efforts in planning new work, reviewing and making recommendations to current improvement initiatives.

Their goal is to create an inclusive committee by geography and race/ethnicity and to include providers, both center and home based, who are engaged in quality improvement, child care assistance, and serve families across all ranges of income. If selected for a committee position, the commitment is a minimum to attend and participate in monthly meetings for 1 year.

If interested in this opportunity, submit your application today!
