During the last two weeks, ACNJ has received many emails and calls regarding a variety of issues and questions related to COVID-19 and its impact on New Jersey’s child care community. We have pulled together resources that detail the supports available to child care, now and in the future. Information includes an update on the third federal stimulus package as well as some state resources on unemployment and small business assistance. ACNJ will continue to update our COVID-19 resources webpage, sharing any additional information received from our state and national partners, as it becomes available.
