Requires DHS to establish quality-based reimbursement system for registered family child care providers participating in Grow NJ Kids.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create a quality-based reimbursement system for family child care providers participating in the Grow NJ Kids program. Under the proposed changes, providers who achieve higher quality ratings through the Grow NJ Kids quality rating system would receive increased state subsidies, matching the percentage increases given to center-based child care providers with the same ratings. The legislation aims to incentivize family child care homes to improve their services by offering financial rewards tied to measurable quality metrics. This policy applies specifically to registered family child care providers who currently participate in the state's subsidized child care assistance program.
