Do You Qualify for Free or Subsidized Childcare in NJ?

New Jersey’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) — administered by the NJ Department of Children and Families — can pay part or all of your childcare costs if your family meets the income and eligibility requirements.

Little Einstein’s Academy in Edison and Roselle, NJ is a licensed, approved CCAP provider. Many families we serve pay little or nothing out of pocket.

Who Qualifies for the CCAP Subsidy?

To be eligible for childcare assistance in New Jersey, you generally must:

Live in New Jersey
Have a child under 13 years old who needs care
Be working, in school, or in an approved job training program
Meet the household income limits

Income Limits for NJ Childcare Subsidy (2025–2026)

Household Size	Approximate Maximum Annual Income
2 people	Up to $44,000/year
3 people	Up to $56,000/year
4 people	Up to $68,000–$74,000/year
5 people	Up to $80,000/year

These are approximate figures. Your exact benefit depends on income, family size, and employment status. Families below the lower threshold may receive 100% coverage. Others pay a small monthly co-pay.
