Overview
This bill requires New Jersey school districts that receive funding for preschool education to place at least 50% of their students in licensed child care provider programs. The remaining placements will be made within the school district’s own programs and Head Start programs. The bill allows districts to apply for a waiver if there aren’t enough spots available in licensed child care programs, requiring them to provide justification to the Department of Education. This legislation aims to increase access to preschool by utilizing existing licensed childcare facilities.
