The Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council (ECAC or Council) is a dedicated group of statewide leaders, including parents, workforce, business owners, community, and government officials. Together, we advise the Governor and state legislators on decisions that shape the quality of life for Nevada’s children (ages 0-8 years old), and their families.

We developed the Nevada ECAC Strategic Plan 2026-2030 in collaboration with more than 2,000 Nevadans who shared their lived experiences about the current needs and priorities. The plan serves as our roadmap to realizing our shared vision that “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.”
