Rhode Island H7905 establishes presumptions for early childhood education programs in RIDE-certified school buildings.

Rhode Island H7905 amends the statute establishing the state's voluntary quality rating system for early care and education and school-age child care. It requires that facility-based elements of observational tools or environment rating scales be deemed met or treated neutrally for school-age child care programs operating in RIDE-certified school buildings. This ensures that such facility-based elements do not reduce a program's quality rating level.
