SPECIAL INITIATIVES
City of Elizabeth CDBG
The City of Elizabeth’s FCC Provider Training Program helps residents become licensed family childcare providers, expanding safe, affordable infant‑toddler care for local families. Through training, certification, home‑based business support, and ongoing coaching, the program increases high‑quality childcare options while empowering providers to build sustainable small businesses.
United Way
The United Way program helps family childcare providers improve the quality of care for young children from low‑ to moderate‑income families in Union County (excluding Elizabeth). Providers receive bilingual training, home‑based support, and a formal FCCERS assessment to strengthen their caregiving practices. The goal is to ensure that every eligible child has access to safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive care.
