Aspire Registry ID What is this?

This field is optional, but it is strongly recommended to submit it.

The Aspire Registry is New York's Registry for early childhood professionals. The registry allows you to build an educational and professional profile, and connects professionals to their licensed child care programs.

Program leaders in New York City are required by the Department of Health (DOHMH) to track the qualifications of their staff in the Aspire Registry. An Aspire Registry ID is also required for participation in some activities of the Leadership Initiative and leaders are strongly encouraged to create an Aspire Registry profile.
