Child care is a part of the daily routine for families with young children. Working
parents rely on quality child care to ensure that their children are well-cared for while they work to support their families. Parents want their children in safe, nurturing environments that provide children with the skills necessary to have a successful life.

Child & Family Resource Services (CFRS) helps families find, select, and pay for child care. CFRS is committed to the belief that all children deserve access to quality, affordable child care that is essential to maintaining family integrity and stability and that children have early childhood experiences that help them become successful. This goal is achieved by providing free and confidential referrals for all regulated child care options. We offer on-line referrals, 24 hours a day that can be accessed through our agency's website at www.norwescap.org. To improve the quality of child care programs, CFRS provides professional development to help providers meet the social, emotional, physical and cognitive needs of children.

CFRS currently administers child care subsidy to Hunterdon, Sussex and Warren County families that are in fulltime work, college, or training activities. Let’s keep the holiday spirit alive by providing for those who are not as fortunate as we are.

April is National Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention month. CFRS continues our work of building the capacity of early care and education providers to employ strategies that foster the protective factors that prevent child abuse and neglect among the families and communities that they serve. Our "Strengthening Families" approach focuses on family strengths and resiliency. Parents having access to child care is a major child abuse and neglect prevention strategy.

CFRS meets a need that no one else does by providing the bridge between parents, providers, and policy makers.
