The Office coordinates child care services in Bergen County, with a focus on availability, affordability and quality of child care. Parents are assisted with choosing child care, referrals to child care providers, and child care subsidies. We also offer opportunities for parents to attend events to network with other parents and we offer classes in child development.
The Office trains, registers, and monitors family child care, and provides professional development opportunities and technical assistance for the child care community.
