CAA's Executive Director appeared on Nevada Week @ CAA's Executive Director appeared on Nevada Week @VegasPBS to talk about Day Without Child Care (May 11) and why Nevada's child care gap is the worst in the nation! We made the case that Nevada has no dedicated funding to support early child care. We keep restarting from zero every legislative session. That has to change. 🗣️ "Child care is economic infrastructure. Reliable and affordable child care allows parents to fully show up at work. Families and businesses both benefit.” 📣 Watch the full interview and add your voice to our fight for child care investment: https://video.vegaspbs.org/video/addressing-the-rising-cost-of-child-care-oemyup/ #NVPolitics #ChildCareNV #Advocacy
