NJCCA Call For Increased Subsidy Payments from NJ Department of Human Services

New Jersey Child Care Association executive director Curt Macysyn called upon the commissioner of the state Department of Human Services to increase New Jersey's subsidy rate for these CCDBG vouchers, which has not increased since 2008, a situation that Macysyn called "inexplicable." The letter calls upon acting commissioner Elizabeth Connelly to submit an increase in the department's Fiscal Year 2017 budget.

NJCCA is an absolute MUST for all preschool professionals. Our organization provides professional development, support and legislative assistance for all management and administrators as well as offering an excellent opportunity for networking with educators throughout New Jersey.
