If I qualify for Child Care Resources, what are my obligations?

New Jersey’s Child Care Subsidy Assistance Program uses an electronic attendance payment system called e-Child Care (ECC) which requires parents to use either a swipe card or the phone to check their child in and out of care.  Families must contribute to cost of care (co-pay). BGCM will cover whatever co-pays you are required to pay.

What is Child Care Resources?
The Child Care Subsidy Assistance Program helps families who are working, in training or school, or a combination of these activities to pay for their child care. This program is funded with state and federal dollars.
