You still have a little over a month to submit Pre-K applications. To be eligible to attend, children must be four years old by September 1, 2023, and be residents of one of the identified RI PreK communities. ow.ly/uiNB50NRKnR #PreK #EarlyEducation #ChildrensFriend

Tiered reimbursement rates for child care providers have increased the quality given to our youngest learners. Since 7/2018, 116 have increased their quality ratings - 84 since 1/2019. Let’s keep momentum going with another increase that will get us closer to equity & fair wages.

Families shouldn’t have to be rich or lucky to get their kids into high-quality pre-K. RI just took a huge step toward universal pre-K by adding 340 seats this school year. I loved visiting one of our new classrooms in Woonsocket this morning. – at Woonsocket, RI

Public pre-K is one of the best investments we can make.

Thanks Miss Kelly and the Bourdon Blvd Children’s Center for having @GovRaimondo, Dir. @courtneyridhs and @RIDeptEd Commissioner today. As @AInfanteGreen said, watching the kids’ imaginations flourish and literacy form proved the importance of our 3rd grade reading and UPK goals.
