The New Jersey Department of Human Services’ Division of Family Development has implemented an automated child care tracking and attendance system call e-Child Care (ECC).

The Urban League’s ECC department processes attendance discrepancy logs and links & re-issues Families First/ECC cards.

These items that MUST be in place before the ECC system can work:

  • Providers must have banking information on file. Banking forms and W9 can be obtained below.
  • Providers must have a designated telephone landline.
  • Parents must have an active child care contract.
  • Parents must have their “61— ” Families First Cards linked and activated. The Urban League links and the parent activates by calling 1-800-997-3333
  • Parents must activate their “81—-” cards by calling 1-800-997-3333.

Helpful tools for providers:

  • Payments, transactions, and contract information can be viewed on your provider portal.
  • You can create your own log in by going to www.echildcarenj.org provider web portal.
  • Your user name is your EPPIC ID # and your temporary password is your zip code.
