Where this record comes from
Licensing in Rhode Island is administered by the Department of Human Services, Office of Child Care under 218-RICR-70-00-1, but the state publishes no per-facility roster of licensed providers. The providers listed here were found by searching Google Maps city by city, and every record shown is that provider's public Google Business Profile. Verify licensing directly with the provider before enrolling.
