Greetings!

I'd like to express a heartfelt "Thank You" in advance for taking the time to complete this survey. Your input will inform our strategic planning as we move forward together over the next three years. We want to hear your ideas on the needs of young children in Nevada (Birth to 8 years old).

The Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council is creating a statewide plan to share with the Governor’s Office and state agencies. The plan's goal is to make early childhood services more coordinated and easier for families to access.

Our Council acts as a voice for families and children who need early childhood support, and your input from this survey will make sure that the plan reflects lived experiences and community needs. Your answers are anonymous and will not be linked to your name if you enter our drawing for the incentives described below.

We will be closing the survey on Thursday, October 16th at 5:00 pm Pacific time, so be sure to complete it as soon as possible.

Thank you again for sharing your time and ideas—we look forward to learning from you!


Tiffany Alston, Chair
Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council
