The program runs from September 2021 through June 2022. There is no fee associated with participation in State Pre-K Programs. Children in state-funded Pre-K classrooms are selected for participation via a lottery managed by the RI Department of Education.

Getting children started in a Pre-K program is a powerful tool to prepare them for success across their entire educational experience. These learning opportunities are one way that we are building equity into everything we do at RIDE, helping make our goal of Excellence in Education a reality for every student in Rhode Island.”
