AZ Early Childhood Staff Training | Directors & Administrators

Every day you strive to provide quality care for children while managing competing responsibilities at your center or school. It’s easy to get sidetracked from developing your most precious resource—your staff.

In the Arizona Early Childhood Workforce Registry, you’ll find reports, resources, and tips to help you manage and develop your employees. Whether you have one or multiple centers or school sites, the Registry provides you with support and guidance to achieve quality care.

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.
