About me
I am the Director for the National Workforce Registry Alliance. We are the membership home for 46 state registries and their staff. Nationwide, we manage a collective 2.8 million members of the early learning community. In 2024, our total reach to workforce members in direct care roles, with an active registry profile, was 1.8M. In odd years, we do a data pull to draw up state data and aggregate a national dataset. Our 2023 data set represented 644k workforce members from 16 states. Our 2025 data draw will include 20 eligible states with an anticipated data set over 800k. We aim to create a dataset which encompasses the known workforce across the nation by 2030.
Acting as the Emergency Broadcast System and hub for early childhood workforce members to access timely updates, registries are uniquely positioned as the universal umbrella for all registered members of the early learning workforce. This role and relationship put them in direct contact with the people caring for children in licensed, regulated, and exempt settings. Early Learning Serving as the Professional Development System hub, registries perform dozens of services and functions in their respective states (like managing training and trainer approvals, verifying training attendance and education, determining career ladder and qualification levels, or determining eligibility for incentives or programs) in doing so, they collect extensive data at the individual and program level.
As their membership home, we support the collection and quality of those data draw ups.
