Rhode Islanders overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
This is key because research shows the first five years of children’s lives are critically important for their development.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.
We want to welcome RI lawmakers to the new legislative session and make sure they keep important kids issues like child care and early childhood education on the table. All kids deserve a strong start in life.

If school can start for 4-year-olds in the year before kindergarten, Gov. Gina Raimondo said the benefits will be valuable.
