A 3625 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires separate entrance for certain child care services located in public school facilities and clarifies licensure requirements and DCF enforcement authority for services.

This bill amends New Jersey's existing pilot program for child care services in public schools. It requires public school facilities hosting these services to have a separate entrance/exit for child care areas (to prevent contact with school-age students) and a designated parent visit area. Community providers must meet all standard child care licensing requirements and be enforced under the same rules as non-school-based centers. The bill also specifies that tuition and facility rent must align with local market rates in the same municipality, and requires a detailed cost evaluation comparing provider expenses to traditional child care centers.
