Helping New Jersey parents reach their full potential

Heather is a New Jersey resident and mother of 3 in a one-parent household. She has been steadily working her way up the ranks in her career with the federal government. Successive promotions have ensured that she can keep up with the financial demands of life and supporting her children. One day, Heather received a promotion that put her over the income limit for the New Jersey child care fee subsidy program.

She discovered that she would now have to come out of pocket for daycare expenses, a total of $1327 per week for 3 children. How would she be able to afford this enormous expense without a second income?

This is the experience of many parents who want to excel in their career, but hit the unavoidable brick wall of child care fees.

Parents Deserve Success provides working parents with the peace of mind to enable them to focus on their families, not on unaffordable childcare fees.

Please see our income scale for income thresholds.
