S 2235 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes five-year conception to cradle pilot program in DOE.

S 2235 establishes a five-year "Conception to Cradle" pilot program within New Jersey's Department of Education to provide integrated early childhood services, including prenatal support for mothers and health, nutrition, and developmental services for infants and toddlers from birth to age three. The program targets 50 public schools with the worst student performance to receive training and a site coordinator, prioritizing those in low-income communities to address early development gaps. It requires partnerships between schools, health providers, and community organizations to coordinate services focused on the critical first three years of life, with annual audits to ensure accountability.
