Work First New Jersey (WFNJ) arranges child care and provides options counseling to TANF (Temporary Aid to Needy Families) participants. This program assists in finding and paying for quality child care. Clients must obtain a referral from the Board of Social Services. Our case managers are trained to counsel each participant about their child care options and conduct vacancy checks at various licensed centers and registered family day care homes. A participant may also choose an Family, Friend and Neighbor (FFN) as a provider.
