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.
Thank you, @GovRaimondo, for putting together a fantastic pre-K visit in Woonsocket today! It was great to see how @HeadStartgov fits in to the state's early learning strategy and ongoing pre-K expansion #universalprek4RI
