Let's look at another legislative win this session! . RI's successful Child Care for Child Care Educators Pilot helps child care providers attract + retain early educators by covering the cost of #childcare for frontline staff. This year’s budget extends this for another 3 yrs.
We're continuing to celebrate victories for kids & families and thanking those who helped make them happen!. As @stephgeller shared, we’ll release our annual Legislative Wrap Up next month, so keep your eyes peeled👀.

Another legislative victory! . This year’s budget requires a comprehensive pediatric primary health care rate review in 2026 (an important first step to address the shortage of pediatric health care providers, so that that every baby + child in RI can have access to health care!)
