ND Growing Futures

North Dakota Early Childhood Workforce Registry

Quality childcare does not happen by accident—it is the result of well-prepared teachers and caregivers who know how to support early development and learning. The Registry works to promotes the growth of a qualified early childhood workforce with a range of services and resources.

Disclaimer: The Registry is currently not receiving accurate data regarding licensed childcare programs from the ND Department of Human Services. This may mean that recently licensed programs are unable to find and claim their license number or set up their organization account with Growing Futures. Licensing Specialists may be unable to find programs in the Registry system. While we hope this is a very temporary situation, ND DHS is transitioning to a new licensing system that may make getting accurate data into the Registry system difficult for some months. We will update the situation as we have additional information. Meanwhile, we will do our best to assist programs, providers, and licensing personnel to find work-arounds where data may be missing. Please call the Registry for assistance at 800-997-8516.
