Family Child Care Provider vs. Approved Home Provider
Registered family child care providers care for up to five children in their home for a fee. CCCC will pay subsidy to registered family child care providers.
An approved home provider is a person a parent has chosen to care for their child while they are at work. This person is usually a family member, friend or neighbor. The person who will be caring for the child must have their home approved by CCCC in order to receive payment. CCCC will also pay subsidy to approved home providers.
e-Child Care
Providers caring for children on a subsidy program (ex: Work First or NJ Cares for Kids) are paid through the E-Child Care system. Click here e-Child Care for important information.
Maximum Child Care Payment Rates
The State of New Jersey pays for the cost of child care for children in subsidy programs to family child care and approved home providers. To find out how much providers are paid click here.
Accreditation

Some areas where they have met higher standards include staff to child ratios, curriculum, environment and staff qualifications.
