What is The Registry?
The MRTQ Registry is Maine's official record of your Early Care and Education career. It's where your experience, education, and training are recognized and counted. The Registry is the place that holds your career data, tracks your growth, and follows you wherever your work takes you. Every training you complete, all of your years in the field, the credential you earn all become part of your Registry record. When you join, your education and experience are reviewed and you're placed on Maine's Career Lattice — a clear marker of where you are as a professional. Your experience counts, along with your degrees and coursework.
