Serving early childhood educators throughout Nevada, The Nevada Registry is a career development, recognition and data collection system that captures important data about the Early Childhood (ECE) workforce. Through the validation of the professional and educational achievements of ECE professionals, The Nevada Registry aims to help raise the status of the profession by promoting a well-trained, educated, supported, and fairly compensated workforce; a workforce that represents a viable and critical profession in our society. The Nevada Registry is one of the statewide efforts geared toward reducing staff turnover, increasing wages, heightening professionalism, and increasing advancement opportunities for ECE educators.
As the host of Nevada’s Early Care and Education Professional Career Ladder, The Nevada Registry collects, validates, and warehouses the professional and educational achievements of early childhood educators throughout the state and highlights those accomplishments through Career Ladder placement. Providing a single point of access, the Registry provides professional development planning tools, including an online Professional Development Plan, and hosts a comprehensive website containing an online calendar of approved training, an industry-related NEWS page, statewide job board and community resources/information. The Registry also operates the statewide training approval system for all informal, community-based training in Nevada.
