The Aspire Registry is an online, statewide data platform designed to support you and validate the important work that you do. It’s a critical component of the state’s professional development system, New York Works for Children. Since 2012, the information within the Aspire Registry has served as a tool to advance New York Works for Children's mission to increase recognition, support career development, and inform public policy and priorities for the early learning workforce.
Working together with QUALITYstarsNY, the Aspire Registry aims to improve the quality of early learning by providing you and your staff with tools and resources to track education, access and track quality professional development, and support your career goals. Standards in the QUALITYstarsNY rating process are scored based on verified information in the Aspire Registry, so it is important to keep your profile up-to-date to be sure the Q&E report accurately reflects your qualifications and experience.
