Nevada Ready! State Pre-K (NR!PK) is a state-funded comprehensive early childhood education program designed to provide high-quality learning opportunities for children who are 4 years old at the beginning of the school year and from families living below 200 percent of the poverty line. In fiscal year (FY) 2023, 13 subgrantees operated 96 NR!PK sites across the state, serving roughly 2,400 children. Unfortunately, more than 35,000 eligible 4-year-old and 5- year old children live in Nevada, far exceeding NR!PK’s current serving capacity. In preparation to address the gap between eligible children and available NR!PK seats, the Nevada Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB), a nonpartisan centralized agency that frees legislators from dependence upon the executive branch of state government and lobbyists for information and assistance, requested a report from the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) Office of Early Learning and Development (OELD) to better understand the current funding needs.
