The Depart of Human Services announced on September 29, 2020 that they
would open a grant application on October 1st so that “licensed child care
centers and registered family child care providers can begin applying for grants
to help meet the increased costs of reopening and remaining open during the
ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency.”
“Up to $50 million will be available and it must specifically be used for COVID-19
related expenses, such as personal protection equipment (PPE), cleaning and
sanitation, classroom modifications, air quality and ventilation enhancement and
added staffing costs to meet new COVID-19 health and safety guidelines.”
“Licensed child care centers and registered family child care providers open by
Thursday (Oct. 1) can apply through the New Jersey Child Care Information
System (NJCCIS). Grants will range from $8,000 to $17,000 for licensed child
care centers, based on a center’s capacity, and $2,500 for registered family child
providers. Providers must note how they plan to use the funds in the application,
and the funding must be spent by Dec. 30.”
