Attention Providers:

We would like to request your assistance with recruiting potential representatives for the Washoe County Child Care Advisory Board, as we currently have a vacancy in the Recipient of Child Care board member position. If you know a parent that may be interested in learning more about child care in Washoe County and participating in the regulatory process, please provide them with this letter. If you don’t have someone specific in mind but are able to post the attached notice, that would also be so appreciated!

Additionally, we anticipate having some Child Care Provider openings on the Board in 2024, so if you are interested in becoming a Provider representative please do not hesitate to reach out for consideration for a future vacancy.
