The Department of Human Services’ Division of Family Development (DHS/DFD) acknowledges the audit finding that 3 of the 40 sampled providers had not been inspected as required by program policy. DHS/DFD contracts with the Department of Children and Families’ Office of Licensing (“OOL”) as the regulatory authority to monitor and inspect licensed centers and family child care providers. In response to this finding, OOL has implemented internal measures to ensure that monitoring occurs on an annual basis. These measure include the use of the New Jersey Child Care Information System (NJCCIS). A subsequent inspection of licensed child care centers was conducted on September 13, 2024. Regarding the two other family child care providers, the Child Care Resource and Referral (“CCR&R”) works in conjunction with OOL to track health and safety inspections. However, CCR&R did not monitor the two family child care providers in 2023. Since then, monitoring has been carried out in 2024 which included a review of the annual training requirements for these providers. To enhance compliance with inspections, CCR&R has acquired updated software to improve its monitoring capabilities. Copies of the 2024 inspection reports can be provided upon request. The DFD’s Office of Child Care will develop internal controls and procedures to ensure that inspections are performed as required by program policy.
