N.J. Admin. Code § 3A:16-1.1
The purpose of this chapter is to outline the standards under which the Division of Child Protection and Permanency shall authorize family child care services for a child receiving child welfare services, either directly, or under a contract, with a family child care provider. This chapter requires that any Division-authorized family child care services purchased by the Department of Human Services or its agents be provided by a family child care provider who meets the standards of, and is registered in accordance with N.J.A.C. 3A:54, Manual of Requirements for Family Child Care Registration. The standards set by this chapter are more stringent than those set by N.J.A.C. 3A:54 for registered family child care providers in general because family child care is often utilized by the Division to relieve the effects of, and prevent abuse or neglect or to provide supervision or relief needed by, a child's family.
