CBC – State Subsidized Child Care Contract

If you are a low to moderate-income working parent, you may be eligible to receive state subsidies for child care.  We are a Center Based Care (CBC) program that is contracted to provide care for infants/toddlers and preschool age children. We also provide before and after school care for children enrolled in our kindergarten program.  Please note that you must be working a minimum of 30 hours per week or enrolled in school full-time to be eligible for this program. Fees are based on your family size and annual family income.

As a licensed center, we are monitored by the State of New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Family Development (DFD).  Under the DFD, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) regulates child care in New Jersey and monitors licensed child care centers.  The DCF Office of Licensing inspects every licensed child care center annually to enforce health, safety and educational program requirements.
