What is E-Child Care?
Child Care Subsidies will be managed through the e-Child Care program. This system tracks and verifies attendance in child care programs. It will get rid of having to submit vouchers and allow providers to get paid quicker. In addition, the system will allow providers to:
– Find out about a child’s authorization;
– See who is registered at their center;
– Obtain daily check in/out report and;
– See other reports on enrollment and attendance.

E-Child Care FAQ
- What is e-Child Care?
e-Child Care (ECC) is the electronic attendance and payment system used for the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). It tracks when children receiving child care subsidies are checked in and out of care, and those attendance records are used to determine provider payments.
- How does ECC work?
Changes are being made to the e-Child Care payment and attendance tracking systems. These updates are designed to simplify payment processing, improve attendance tracking, and modernize the tools providers use every day.
Currently, providers are required to record attendance-related information in the NJ CCAP Attendance Calendar through NJCCIS, including child absences, program closure days, holidays, and vacation days. Accurate attendance reporting is necessary to ensure providers receive correct and timely subsidy payments.
- How do I report absences/illness for my child?
Absences and illnesses should be reported directly to your child’s provider.
- When do providers get paid?
Payments are for a two-week pay cycle and are deposited on the date specified in the payment schedule. Attached is the 2026-27 list of payment dates: ECC_Payment_Dates-Contract-Year-2026-27.pdf
- Do providers get paid for closure days?
Providers are given 22 days annually that they can use for closures. Providers are advised to reserve some days for unexpected closures in the event of an emergency or inclement weather. Closure days can only be paid at a maximum of five days in one payment cycle in the e-Child Care System. Providers should provide their anticipated closure schedule to their CCR&R in advance and must enter closure dates into the CCAP calendar when the calendar becomes available.
- How do I check my payments as a provider?
Providers can check their account anytime at https://www.njccis.com/njccis/home/login or call the NJCCIS Call Center IVR at 800-332-6512. You can also access reference guides and manuals on the Provider Web Portal at: System Upgrades – Child Care In New Jersey.
