The Rhode Island Child Care Facilities Fund is conducting a Facility Assessment

The Child Care Facilities Fund is asking you, our RI Early Childhood Care and Education Leaders, to respond to a Facility Survey in order to help us better understand your programs, facilities, program practices, and the obstacles you are facing with regards to indoor and outdoor learning environments.

We plan to use your feedback as we prioritize funding resources, professional development, technical assistance, and other opportunities to partner with you in expanding access to quality child care and early education in communities throughout Rhode Island.

Every center that completes an on-line survey will have an opportunity to be awarded one of a total of five $500.00 grants that can be used to purchase indoor and outdoor materials of your choice to enhance the overall learning environment. Five centers will be randomly selected from all who participate for these small grant prizes. An additional five centers will be randomly selected to receive a few of our favorite child care and early learning environment resource books!

Please feel free to forward this survey on to anyone you feel could provide additional feedback or could benefit from being added to the RI Child Care Facilities Fund contact list.
