Family Child Care Provider Resources

You do great work in providing children with nurturing care from your home. As a Family Child Care Provider, you work independently with limited access to other early childhood professionals. When you join the Arizona Early Childhood Workforce Registry, you’ll find yourself connected to a robust early childhood development community. You’ll start receiving our monthly newsletter with resources and tips to provide you with the support you need to achieve quality care. Are you unregulated? Do you want to learn more about becoming a regulated child care provider?

I simply shared with my teachers that by creating a Registry profile, they are validating their profession and legitimizing the work that they do and the early childhood profession. It was easy to fill out.
