The Child Development Center (CDC) at Western Nevada College (WNC) has been recognized with its seventh consecutive Best of Carson City Award. The award ceremony took place on Monday, Aug. 26, and was attended by WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe, Foundation Executive Director Niki Gladys, Chief Financial Officer Coral Lopez, and staff members.

“We are so humbled and honored to receive this honor for another year, and for seven straight years!” said CDC Director Anna Lisa Acosta-Rogers. “The teachers and staff work hard every day to provide high-quality care to every single child and family we serve. We know how important quality early childhood education is, and we want to ensure as many families can receive this care for their children. We are blessed to be a part of WNC and our community.”

Since Acosta-Rogers became the director of the facility, the CDC has won the Nevada Appeal’s Best Child/Day Care Provider Award annually. Community members vote online to select top businesses, people, and organizations in various categories.

The CDC provides critical care, safety, and formative educational training for nearly 100 children daily.
