Why This Indicator Matters

Children need safe, nurturing and enriching environments where they can grow and learn while their parents work. Parents need affordable, reliable child care so they can be productive employees.

In New Jersey, licensed child care centers serve a minimum of six children and must adhere to state licensing requirements.
