Professional Qualifications Registry Online Help and Resources

EEC's new Professional Qualifications Registry will gather important information on the size, composition, education, and experience of our current workforce. It will store information about the retention and turnover of educators working in early education and care and out-of-school time programs. This information will help EEC build a work force development system that responds to the needs of all educators and programs in Massachusetts. For additional information, please visit 2010 Family, Group and School Age Child Care Regulations.
