S 931 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes a business coaching program in DCF for licensed child care providers; appropriates $3 million.

This bill establishes a voluntary business coaching program within New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) for licensed child care providers. It provides licensed providers with monthly virtual coaching sessions (in English, Spanish, or other relevant languages) to improve center efficiency, increase enrollment, set tuition rates, and understand health/safety regulations. The program is funded by a $3 million appropriation from the General Fund, requiring participants to be licensed child care center operators residing in New Jersey. Participation is entirely voluntary, with DCF selecting eligible providers based on established criteria.
