E-Child Care

E-Child Care (ECC) is a child care time and attendance system that was implemented on January 1, 2012. ECC was implemented by the New Jersey Division of Family Development through each county’s child care resource and referral (CCR&R) agency. The ECC technology uses either the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system through the telephone or a Point of Service (POS) device, a swipe card system, which allows parents to record attendance information and confirm the care that is being provided for their children.

This automated attendance and payment process is both the responsibility of the child care provider and the parent. All child care subsidy payments in the State of New Jersey are made through the ECC system.
