Kids Quarters, a family owned and operated business, was established May 1, 1995. We are proud of our center and take pride in making ourselves stand out from other centers. Our staff work very hard to make the environment a pleasant and fun place to be. All our staff continue their learning and growing outside the classroom by taking classes that benefit the children they teach. All our staff are trained in CPR and First Aid. We also have a licensed nurse on staff. Our facility is both safe and secure. We also are fully air conditioned.
KIDS QUARTERS IS LICENSED BY BOTH DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES (DCYF) AND RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (RIDE).
The Department was established by the state legislature in 1980 by merging children's programs previously administered by 4 different state agencies. The Director of DCYF is also a member of the RI Children's Cabinet, which addresses cross-departmental issues relating to children’s needs and services. We are one of a small group of states that integrate the 3 major public responsibilities for troubled children, youth and families in one agency: Child Welfare, Children's Behavioral Health, and Juvenile Corrections.

RIDE provides leadership and support to the state’s education community through its 10 offices: Adult Education, Assessment & Accountability, Educator Quality and Certification, Finance, Instruction, Middle & High School Reform, Network & Information Systems, Progressive Support and Intervention, Special Populations, and the Office of the Commissioner. These offices work in consort to advocate for a coherent public policy on education, to enhance local capacity to improve teaching and learning, to sustain an effective accountability system, and to build innovative partnerships that create positive change.
