Raimondo's budget proposes rate hikes for childcare workers

Gov. Gina Raimondo is proposing that the state spend $1.5 million on rate hikes for child care workers. She discussed her fiscal 2019 budget proposal for state-subsidized day care operators, many of whom work at home, Wednesday in Providence. Raimondo wants a tiered reimbursement model that allocates higher rates for higher-quality programs. Less than 10 percent of providers have high ratings.
