Reimagine Childcare
Reimagine Child Care was formed by Advocates for Children of New Jersey (ACNJ), New Jersey Association for the Education of Young Children (NJAEYC), The Nicholson Foundation and the Turrell Fund to challenge policymakers, business leaders, parents and communities to reimagine how accessible, affordable high-quality care for infants and toddlers can help our state thrive for years to come.
Our platform is driven by a simple vision: We imagine a future where every infant and toddler in New Jersey has access to high-quality child care that prepares them for the future, and helps New Jersey thrive.
