LAS VEGAS — For thousands of Southern Nevada families, the dream of high-quality preschool education is becoming a reality, thanks to $15.9 million in scholarships provided by United Way of Southern Nevada (UWSN) and the Nevada Department of Education through the Nevada Ready! State Pre-K program. This school year, they have selected nearly 60 Southern Nevada preschool centers to help 1,900 students enroll in preschool for free through the program, paving pathways to educational opportunities for local families.
Since 2015, the Nevada Department of Education and United Way of Southern Nevada have joined forces to provide free preschool to over 7,500 students through the Nevada Ready! State Pre-K program. Through this program, UWSN also provides on-going training for teachers, ensuring classrooms are enriched with the latest teaching techniques.
“By growing the Nevada Ready! State Pre-K Program with the support of the Nevada Department of Education, we’re helping thousands of Southern Nevada children start school ready to succeed,” said Samuel Rudd, UWSN’s President and CEO. “Early education empowers children to reach their full potential and helps families thrive.”
Scholarships will be allocated through qualified centers to families in need, guided by childcare center recommendations and referrals. All participating centers adhere to the Quality Rating Improvement Systems (QRIS) established by the Nevada Department of Education.
Local families can visit uwsn.org/earlyeducation to view the eligibility requirements and fill out UWSN’s interest form to connect with a preschool center near them.
