Places to Play goes statewide
 

Places to Play goes statewide
 
The well-received Places to Play professional development project we conducted in Providence in 2011 has inspired a similar initiative for early childhood educators across the state.

The seven-session course is being offered through BrightStars and the RI Child Care Resource & Referral Center. It is open to all early childhood professionals (center- and home-based) in RI who care for preschool children aged 3 to 5.
