Family child care homes serving up to five children must register with the state of NJ; Teaneck enforces zoning and life-safety overlays.
Under the New Jersey Family Day Care Provider Registration Act, providers caring for three to five children unrelated to the operator must register with the Department of Children and Families. Registered family child care homes are a permitted residential use statewide and Teaneck cannot prohibit them. Larger group homes or child care centers require state licensing and may need site plan approval. Teaneck enforces fire-safety inspection coordination, parking standards for drop-off, and ensures the dwelling complies with property maintenance and building codes.
State registration suspension; municipal fines for code or zoning noncompliance.
