About Us

The Growing Futures Early Childhood Workforce Registry is the statewide system dedicated to growth of a skilled and competent early childhood workforce.

The Registry has been instrumental to the creation and implementation of a focused approach to early care and education career development. The Registry, created in 2012, operates under the direction of the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services, and is mandated to approve all training and professional development accepted for child care licensing by HHS policy. The Registry works closely with partner organizations across the state to promote early childhood professional development. On the national level, the Registry is a member of The National Workforce Registry Alliance.

The Registry is a no-cost, voluntary approach to career development and recognition—and the official information and data site—for the early childhood workforce.
