Welcome

The Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council’s (Nevada ECAC) mission works to strengthen state-level coordination and collaboration among the various sectors and settings of early childhood programs for children from birth through 8. Our vision is to create an environment where Nevada's children will be safe, healthy, and thriving during the first eight years of life, and the system will support children and families in achieving their full potential.
