Family daycare homes in Bergen County are regulated by New Jersey under the Family Day Care Provider Registration Act. Providers caring for 3-5 children must register with NJ DCF; municipal zoning may also apply.
Under the Family Day Care Provider Registration Act (N.J.S.A. 30:5B-16 et seq.), home-based providers caring for three to five children must register with the New Jersey Department of Children and Families. Background checks, CPR/first-aid training, and home safety inspections are required. Registration is handled through Bergen County's designated Sponsoring Organization, which assists with applications and renewals every three years. Family daycare is a permitted use in residential zones statewide under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-66.5b. Municipal zoning may impose additional rules on group daycare homes serving six or more children.
Operating an unregistered family daycare may result in fines up to $500 and removal of children by state authorities.
