Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 30:5b-26, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 30:5b-26.
The Legislature finds and declares: a. That the increase in single-parent households and two-career families has resulted
in a growing number of young children who are unsupervised from the time school ends
until a parent returns from work, with one national study estimating that 6,000,000
children, aged five to 13, are unsupervised daily. b. That unsupervised children are more likely to engage in drug abuse, alcohol abuse,
or other delinquent behavior, and are at greater risk of being the victims of criminal
acts. c. That in many communities child care programs to serve these school-age children
are nonexistent, too limited to accommodate the demand, or too expensive for some
families to utilize. d. That the State can play a useful and important role in the promotion of quality
and adequate day care services which will benefit the well-being of children and families.
