On January 7, 2022, the College of Education and Human Development, in partnership with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, hosted a half day Early Childhood Roundtable for northern Nevada, focused on identifying areas of biggest need for families with young children in our region. Attendees included an array of leaders and practitioners from multiple sectors focused on serving young children and their families. The Governor of Nevada and President of the University of Nevada, Reno both made remarks at the event affirming their commitment to a strong early childhood system in our state. This report serves to summarize the results of small group discussions, held in person and in Zoom breakout rooms, on three main questions:
1. What are the services available to young children and families?
2. What are the challenges of providing services for young children and families?
3. What is needed to build a stronger collaborative effort to serve families with young children?
