I would like to publicly thank Ms Sharon Grant. She is so phenomenal. She is truly a heaven sent angel. If you ever get a chance to speak with her or have her help you. You wouldn’t be disappointed. She goes above and beyond to help everyone. She gave me numbers for extra Resources and even tried helping me look for work. Idk if that’s in her title but she went above and beyond and I really appreciate it. I would recommend her to anyone if I could. ❤️❤️❤️

I have had nothing but great things to say about Programs for Parents. All of the case workers/Customer Service Reps and specialists that I have come across on the phone with have answered all of my questions. Not once I have gotten off the phone without all of my questions answered. They always figure out a way to get someone on the phone even though it's a busy day. There were also a time where someone called me past their working hours so, that just goes to show that they are here to answer all of my questions and if they don't have the answer right now they will call back. They do not get enough recognition and I truly love them so much! Unfortunately, I have moved to Somerset County and must transfer to Community Child Care Solutions. That agency has returned my call once and never returned my call ever again. I can call them right now and no one will answer or, sometimes they will answer but sound like they're rushing to get you off the phone. They don't even have a receptionist to direct you to the right person like Programs for Parent does. I am so frustrated right now. I sent in my transfer application/application to Community Child Care Solutions 02/16/2022 @ 9:52Pm. Please, refer to the image below. Since yet I have yet to hear from them. If I am not mistaken I have till the end of this month (Feb) or the end of March to apply to Community child care solutions if not I believe they will not help me pay for my toddlers daycare? I am so stressed out. I called everyone from the office (Community Child Care Solutions) as they have a phone directory of everyone who works in the Somerset Location on their website. I truly wish they were more like Programs for Parents.

I would like to thank Ms. Leticia for her exceptional customer service. She was informative and expeditious in making sure I have everything I need for my child to go to summer camp. Highly recommended.

Taking this time to give a shout to Sharon Grant! The people who support this program are amazing but Sharon is communicative and generous w/ her time & effort! Getting assistance in general can be long and lengthy however Sharon Makes sure this is an organization I vouch for here in NJ!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I want to use my son as my grandchildren's caregiver but he is on parole. Will this disqualify him as my potential caregiver?

Peggy Bodison | Jul 1, 2022
Programs For Parents | Jul 1, 2022

Ms. Bodison, it is very likely that depending on the charges, your son will not be eligible to be a child care provider. Providers must be able to pass a comprehensive criminal background check that includes fingerprinting. Please contact us so that we can give you more specific information: (973) 744-4050.

I’m a stay at home mom with twins, I was going back to work next year (2019) can I use my fathers income until I get my own? Do I have to wait?

Courtney Berry | Sep 30, 2019
Programs For Parents | Sep 30, 2019

Ms. Busch, the eligibility for the subsidy programs is not based solely on income. One of the other eligibility requirements is to be employed and/or attending a school/training program full time. Once your family circumstances change, you can submit an application.
