Description: Center for Family Resources, Inc. (CFR) is a private, non-profit community organization that is dedicated to promoting the general well-being of all children and their families. We strive to build partnerships with families and the community in order to provide high-quality comprehensive child development and family strengthening services.
Currently, we offer a Head Start program serving 359 income-eligible children ages 3 to 5 years and an Early Head Start program serving 129 income-eligible children ages 2 months to 3 years and pregnant women from the towns of Ringwood, West Milford, Woodland Park, Wanaque, Bloomingdale, Pompton Lakes, Wayne, Haledon, Prospect Park, Clifton, Totowa, North Haledon, Hawthorne, and Little Falls within Passaic County, NJ. CFR’s other programs include: Early Intervention for infants and toddlers with disabilities; emergency food pantries; homeless prevention assistance; parent training/education; father involvement programming and substance abuse prevention programs for families. CFR is the only grantee in New Jersey that offers all program options: center-based, home-based, combination option, and family child care.
CFR has strategically located programs to serve the diverse communities and families throughout the rural/suburban/urban catchment areas of the county. We have served this community since 1980. We currently provide child development services in eight locations in Passaic County with our child development centers located in the towns of Ringwood, West Milford, Wayne, Pompton Lakes, and four sites in Clifton. Our Family Child Care homes are located in the towns of Clifton, Prospect Park, and West Milford. All of our locations are NAEYC accredited. Services are available at no- to low-cost to income-eligible children and families inthese distinct areas throughout the county.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
