Quality Standards
Rhode Island’s State Pre-K Programs must meet the highest level of quality as indicated by the CECE Program Standards. Within the CECE Program Standards, Learning and Development includes curriculum, child assessment, and family engagement.
Curriculum
From the time children walk into a RI Pre-Kindergarten classroom until the time they leave, children are actively engaged in learning. Intentional teaching means that teachers apply what they know from research and best practice in the field of early childhood and intentionally plan their day to ensure that every child gets the most out of every experience.
