About the AZ Early Childhood Network

Welcome to the Arizona Early Childhood Career and Professional Development Network! The Network serves as a resource to build Arizona’s early education workforce and promote the early childhood professional development system. The goal of this website is to connect early childhood practitioners and others interested in the field with resources to advance their careers. Within these pages, you will find information ranging from scholarships and professional development opportunities to events and ideas for your classroom.

The Arizona Early Childhood Workforce Registry is a web-based system that enables early childhood professionals and those interested in an early education career to find and register for professional development opportunities, as well as keep a record of their experience, education, professional development, and credentials in a central location. The Registry is also used to manage application and enrollment in First Things First College Scholarships for Early Childhood Professionals.
