Childcare Compliance Services

    Under a new Bill signed into law by Governor Corzine on January 11, 2007, environmental investigations are required prior to issuance of a license, license renewal or certificate of occupancy for child care centers or schools. This Bill follows the adoption of emergency rules in October 2006 providing amendments to the Department Children and Families' "Manual for Requirements for Child Care Centers.

    Under the new Bill, the Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is responsible for determining whether the Site (exterior) is safe for a child care center or school. The Department of Health and Senior Services is responsible for making a determination whether an existing building (interior) is safe for use as a child care center or school. Like the emergency rule the new Bill triggers requirements for environmental investigations based on current and/or previous use(s) of the building or site.
