Financial Aid

If you need help paying for child care, financial assistance is available from a variety of sources. In the northwestern New Jersey area, NORWESCAP, the North Jersey Community Coordinated Child Care Agency and the Bergen County Department of Human Services all offer programs to those who need help making ends meet while raising a family.

It is advisable to contact all of the organizations that serve your geographical area. We have attempted to consolidate all of the programs and their eligibility requirements here, but this is not an exhaustive list.
