Your view of the interactive maps below can be customized by checking or unchecking the features you would like to see.

These maps are intended for data/research use only. They should not be used to search for child care, as they are not regularly updated. To search for available child care in your area, click here.

Sources. The child care data reflects the operating status for child care programs as of January 2023 from the New Jersey Child Care Information System (NJCCIS).  The data related to elementary schools with and without preschool programs is from the New Jersey Department of Education Data & Reports Portal, which shows elementary school data for the 2021-2022 school year.

Mapping Quick Tips:

• Click on the map to open and view the programs in each type of care category
• Zoom in to see counties, communities or neighborhoods
• Click on the symbols/colors in the map to see a pop-up box with program details (program info, census data)
• On the left panel, view the “legend” to see the color coded symbols for types of child care
• On the left panel, click on “content” to check or uncheck various categories (some maps are pre-set – for example, centers serving infants, but you can still uncheck or check items as you wish)
• You can change the background color of each map to reflect children in working families, children in poverty, or children in homes where Spanish is spoken.
• Map loading time may take a few seconds so be patient!
