Programs: The children's advocacy alliance is committed to ensuring that every child in nevada has the opportunity to grow up healthy, from the prenatal period all the way through their teen years. Nevada currently ranks last in the nation when it comes to providing health coverage for children. Over 16% of nevada's children have no health coverage, which is more than double the national rate of 7. 5%. To be healthy, children and families need: 1. On time, recommended childhood immunizations 2. Access to food that supports good nutrition, including an adequate supply of fruits and vegetables. 3. Communities that provide a safe place to run and play, offering opportunities for physical activity. 4. High quality, on-time, prenatal care.
the children's advocacy is committed to ensuring that every child in nevada has the opportunity to enter school ready to learn. Our goal is to create a comprehensive early childhood system in nevada that supports families by making sure they have high-quality options for their children's early care and learning - whether their children spend their days at home, in formal childcare, or with family and friends. To achieve this goal, we advocate for: 1. Access to high quality, affordable child care for all children. 2. Parent education and family support programs designed to improve the confidence and competency of all parents and support them in their role as their children's first and most important teachers. 3. A highly qualified and appropriately compensated early childhood workforce.
the children's advocacy alliance is committed to the long-term goal of safely reducing the number of children in foster care and improving the outcomes for those children and families who are already in care by addressing the three strategic drivers of progress and change: 1. Preventing abuse and neglect and entry into foster care. 2. Improving the programs and practices necessary to support children and families in the child welfare system. 3. Promoting safe exits and ensuring successful transitions for youth and families leaving the child welfare system.
