Strong Families
Build Communities

Many families have concerns about the affordability of child care.  Our agency offers financial assistance to cover all or a portion of child care costs through subsidy programs.  This assistance is available for low income parents, guardians and foster parents in Essex County.  We believe these subsidies will help increase economic independence in families and improve the development of Essex County children, the community we proudly serve!

NJCK is designed for those who are employed and/or attending school full time or participating in a combination of these two activities equivalent to full time. Eligibility is determined by family size, household income and employment and/or education hours.
