Get Help Paying for Child Care with CCAP

New  Jersey’s  Child  Care  Assistance  Program  (CCAP)  helps  income-eligible families who are working, attending school, or participating in job training pay for child  care. CCAP  is  a State  program that  is  managed  locally  by  Child  Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies. There is a CCR&R in every county.

Community Child Care Solutions is the CCR&R for both Middlesex and Somerset Counties

​

Getting Started is Easy
To get started, visit ChildCareNJ.gov,

where you can:

• Learn about the program and eligibility requirements.

• Use the eligibility calculator to see if you may qualify.

• When  you’re  ready,  get  connected  to  the State’s  secure  application system, MyNJHelps, to apply.

Applying

• You will need to create an account to apply.

• If  you  have  previously  created  a  MyNJHelps  account  to  apply  for  the Supplemental  Nutrition  Assistance Program  (SNAP)  or  Work  Frist  New Jersey  (WFNJ),  use  your  previously  created  username  and  password  to sign in.

• You  will  not  be  able  to  upload  documents  online  if  you  are  applying  for CCAP only.  If  you  choose  to  apply for SNAP  and/or  WFNJ  as  well  as CCAP, you will be able to upload documents but the uploaded documents will only be used for SNAP/WFNJ verification. You will still need to submit any  required  documents  for  CCAP verification  to Community Child Care solutions.

• ​

What to Expect After You Apply

• After you submit your application, a Community Child Care representative will:

• Contact  you  with  next  steps  and  let  you  know  which  documents  are required.

• Provide instructions on how to submit them.

• Help you complete the application process.

• Once you’ve submitted all required documents, Community Child Care Solutions will review your application and make an eligibility decision within 30 days.

• If  you  need  help  at  any  point,  please  contact  us at cccscustomerservice@cccschildcare.org for assistance.
