Watch our new video, “Funding Affordable, Reliable, Quality Child Care In Rhode Island.”
Child care is essential to Rhode Island families and our economy. That’s why we need to restore $48 million in state funding and use the $4 million in new federal funding to pass the RI Child Care is Essential Act so that 1) all families at or below the state median income can receive help paying for child care, 2) all provider rates for the RI Child Care Assistance Program meet or exceed federal standards, and 3) the outdated and inequitable child support enforcement requirement is removed.
