City of Henderson Selected for National Prenatal-To-Three Impact Lab

Henderson Joins 16 Communities Nationwide To Advance Early Childhood and Family Support Strategies

HENDERSON, Nev. (April 7, 2026) - The City of Henderson announced today that it has been selected by the National League of Cities as one of 16 communities nationwide to participate in the Prenatal-to-Three Impact Lab, a nine-month initiative focused on strengthening support for young children and families.

Through the program, Henderson will work with national experts and peer cities to advance strategies that support mothers, infants and young children during the most critical stages of early development. The City will receive technical assistance, access to best practices and strategic guidance to improve coordination across sectors, make better use of data and develop long-term solutions to local challenges.

During a presentation at today's City Council meeting, City staff said the initiative will help provide a framework to better understand the challenges families face regarding housing, workforce participation and gaps in family services, while continuing to strengthen policies and systems that support family stability and economic success.

Henderson was selected for its strong track record of collaboration and leadership in advancing family economic security and educational opportunity. The initiative aligns with the City's strategic priorities, including quality education, economic vitality and building a healthy, livable and sustainable community.

The City continues to invest in programs that support housing stability, workforce development, family services and access to quality early education. These efforts include the Early Childhood Education Center, which broke ground in January 2026.
