Pre-Kindergarten

RI Pre-K programs provide our littlest learners with the skills they will need to be successful in kindergarten and for years to come. Children participate in age appropriate lessons, while being encouraged to play and explore their surroundings. We partner with families to ensure each child is thriving, and that they are setting the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Tri-County offers Rhode Island State Pre-Kindergarten classrooms in North providence, South Kingstown and Westerly. Enrollment into the RI Pre-K program is lottery based, and spots are limited. To submit an application for the RI Pre-K lottery, click the link below.

The Tri-County Head Start, Early Head Start, and State Pre-K Family Handbook is an essential guide for families participating in these programs. This comprehensive handbook outlines program structure and provides detailed information on various important aspects, including safety protocols, program rules, staff roles, and family expectations. Designed to foster a collaborative and informed community, the handbook ensures that all families are well-equipped with the knowledge they need for a successful and enriching Head Start, Early Head Start, or State Pre-Kindergarten experience with Tri-County.
