Share your story on quality child care for NJ infants and toddlers.
ACNJ has been conducting a series of studies, including focus groups and a statewide survey, to capture the issues and challenges in delivering high quality child care for infants and toddlers. Data is being collected from child care centers and family child care providers across the state to learn more about:
- availability of infant-toddler child care
- costs involved in providing high-quality care
- current issues and trends impacting the delivery of infant-toddler care in NJ.
Findings from these studies will be released in early 2017. If you have a story to share about your experience with infant-toddler child care we want to hear it.
