Establishes a business coaching program in DCF for licensed child care providers; appropriates $3 million.

This bill establishes a voluntary business coaching program within New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) for licensed child care providers. It provides licensed providers with virtual coaching sessions (1-2x monthly), language support (English/Spanish/multilingual), and guidance on increasing enrollment, setting tuition rates, and complying with health/safety regulations. The program requires providers to be licensed in New Jersey and maintain residency during participation, with all applications processed through DCF. The bill appropriates $3 million from the General Fund to fund this initiative, which takes effect immediately.
