Requires DCF to develop a unified child care finder; appropriates $3.6 million.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) to create a digital "child care finder" tool using $3.6 million in state funding. The tool will help parents and caregivers search for licensed child care centers and registered family providers by location, program type, hours, fees, and availability, with map-based and filter features. Child care providers must display detailed profiles on the tool showing license info, capacity, fees, accepted subsidies, and inspection results. The system must be secure, accessible, and allow direct enrollment and payments through the platform.
