We're thrilled to announce that we have once again achieved a 5-Star BrightStars Rating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality early childhood education in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.

This achievement would not have been possible without our incredible teachers, dedicated staff, supportive families, and amazing children who make our program so special every day. Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your child's early learning journey.

We would also like to give a very special shout-out to our Yearling and PreK-B classrooms for their outstanding assessments earlier this year, which played a significant role in helping us earn this 5-Star rating.

A heartfelt congratulations goes to Ms. Kim and Ms. Shannon, who successfully completed the LearnERS program after 12 months of hard work, dedication, and commitment to professional growth. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and grateful for everything they have done to help our program continue to provide the highest quality early childhood education.

This achievement belongs to our entire school community, and we are excited to continue growing, learning, and providing the very best for the children and families we serve. Here's to celebrating this milestone together—and to many more years of inspiring young minds! 💙

Child Care Keeps RI Working: Pass The Child Care Is Essential Act!

Rhode Island families are facing a child care crisis. Currently, the average cost of infant care in a licensed center is $16,899 per year, a price that is unaffordable for 9 out of 10 families in our state. Despite this, Rhode Island is one of only seven states in the country investing only the bare minimum required to receive federal funding for affordable child care.

We need your help to tell Rhode Island legislators that child care is essential for our children, our families, and our economy!

Contact your legislators today and tell them to support the Rhode Island Child Care is Essential Act (H-7393 / S-2667). This critical legislation will:

• Expand Eligibility: Raise income limits so families earning up to 85% of the state median income can qualify for help, and allow them to remain in the program until they reach 100% of the state median income.
• Ensure Equal Access: Adjust provider rates to meet federal standards (the 75th percentile of the market rate), ensuring child care remains a viable option for providers and families.
• Address the Infant Care Shortage: Set infant care rates 30% higher than toddler rates to account for the higher staffing costs required to keep our youngest children safe.

Let's make quality, affordable child care available to more Rhode Island families! Pass the Child Care Is Essential Act!

Click the link below to take action! It takes just two minutes and one click to send a message to Governor McKee and your state legislators!
