The Children’s Cabinet strategic plan for 2020-2023 focuses on addressing the significant needs in the early childhood sector to achieve our vision that all Rhode Island children enter kindergarten educationally, social-emotionally, and developmentally ready to succeed, putting them on a path to read proficiently by 3rd grade.
The Children’s Cabinet develops a comprehensive children’s budget each year. Since 2018, in partnership with the Office of Management and Budget, the Children’s Cabinet has undertaken a scan of all spending across Cabinet agencies to identify funds spent on children & youth by desired outcome area as defined in the Children’s Cabinet strategic plan. Please find the Children’s Budget summaries in the Executive Summary of the Governor’s Recommended budget, which can be found at the OMB website here.
