Coming Soon: Limited Reopening of the Child Care Assistance Program Application

 

The Department of Human Services will start the process of reopening the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) for a limited number of slots, with the goal for allowing new children in January.  

 

The opportunity to apply will be first issued to families who fall into the program's priority groups and who complete a registration form starting in December.  

 

The limited number of slots will be offered to priority groups (in accordance with state regulation) that include families with children experiencing homelessness, children with special needs and children from households with very low income. 

​

Due to the limited funding available, not all applicants who fall into a priority group and who are invited to apply may be granted assistance.  You can sign up to receive a notification email or text when the registration form is available.  Continue to visit www.ChildCareNJ.gov for updates.
