The Children’s Cabinet Subsidy Program is a financial assistance program for eligible parents who are working, going to school, in job training, or seeking employment.

The Children’s Cabinet has start-up grants that can help family child care homes, group family child care homes and centers with the cost of fees, and some classroom materials and furnishings.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) will serve as liaisons between the community and health and social service providers to better support Nevada families in Las Vegas and Reno.

We offer a variety of trainings for child care providers through various formats.

The Children’s Cabinet helps child care providers get started and market their programs.
