Congratulations to the graduates of the Spring 2026 Adult Learning Academy!

Lisa Jackson, Jennifer Hines, Somalis Heng, Margaret Bourgon, Emily Treischel and Denise Dy-Prieto completed an intensive 30-hour training course and are prepared to take the next step to begin delivering Registry-approved training to the Early Childhood community!

Thank you for your efforts to become an approved trainer with The Nevada Registry and for helping to expand professional development opportunities for Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) educators in Nevada!

A huge thank you also goes out to our ALA instructors, Cathy Peshlakai, Sarah Wright, Geraldine Wynn and Lyra Maghirang. Your dedication to this project is greatly appreciated and makes a meaningful difference in our community!

The Nevada Registry is proud to announce the launch of our new Data Dashboard, a semi-interactive tool providing real-time reports on Nevada’s Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) workforce and the training approval system.

The Data Dashboard brings up-to-date information on key workforce indicators directly to your fingertips. It offers a descriptive snapshot of the workforce across roles, settings, and geographic regions, supporting greater access, transparency, and understanding of workforce data. As the dashboard continues to evolve, it will become an increasingly robust resource to support funding decisions, inform policy, and guide strategic planning across the state.
