Requires child care centers to establish procedures to notify parents or guardians in event of unexcused child absence as condition of licensure.

S 3680 requires New Jersey child care centers to establish procedures for notifying parents or guardians when a child is absent without an excused reason, as a condition for obtaining or renewing their license. This applies directly to all licensed child care centers seeking new licenses, renewals, or approvals from the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The bill mandates that DCF cannot issue or renew a center's license until it confirms the center has implemented these notification procedures. Centers that fail to comply may face license denial, revocation, or non-renewal.
