Mission Statement |

Child Care

health, safety, and well-being of children in licensed

Vision
Statement |
|
Our vision for the
Child Care Licensing Unit is to promote the healthy
growth, development, and protection of children,
increase availability of positive and nurturing learning
environments and provide support for families by
regulating and licensing high quality, developmentally
appropriate, and flexible care, through a wide range of
care options. This vision involves mentoring and guiding
child care providers to become advocates for children
and family issues, as well as, foster the growth and
development of the provider community. In support of
this vision Child Care Licensing will work to expand the
awareness of state legislators, local regulatory
agencies and consumers so as to encourage support for
improving the quality of child care environments for
Nevada's children and families. |
