Under New Jersey law, a family day care home is a permitted use in every residential district in Galloway Township. The Municipal Land Use Law requires municipalities to treat family day care homes the same as single-family dwellings, so no special zoning variance is needed to operate one.
N.J.S.A. 40:55D-66.5b makes family day care homes a permitted use in all residential districts, with the same requirements as single-family dwellings. A New Jersey family day care home serves up to five children (excluding the provider's own) and is registered with the NJ Department of Children and Families, not zoned separately by Galloway. Larger child care centers are treated as commercial uses and must locate in appropriate nonresidential districts under the township's Chapter 233 zoning.
Galloway cannot bar a qualifying family day care home from a residential zone; operating an unregistered larger center in a residential district, however, violates Chapter 233 and state licensing law and is subject to enforcement.
