About Caring for Kids

Since 1995, Caring for Kids NJ has been dedicated to strengthening families and empowering parents to create safe, nurturing environments for their children. Based in Cape May County, we provide essential support services focused on early childhood development, parenting education, and family well-being.

 

As New Jersey’s first Blue Ribbon Affiliate of the nationally recognized Parents as Teachers (PAT) program, we are committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based home visitation services. We have earned the PAT Quality Endorsement in 2015 and 2020, demonstrating our ongoing dedication to excellence in early childhood education and family support.

 

In 2024, our impact was recognized with two prestigious awards:

​

LOSOS Award – International Parents as Teachers (PAT) Conference

Non-Profit Agency of the Year – Middle Township Chamber

​

Our mission is to provide parents with the knowledge and resources they need to help their children thrive.

 

Through home visits, educational programs, and community partnerships, we work to:

Increase parent knowledge of early childhood development.
Detect developmental delays and health concerns early.
Prevent child abuse and neglect.
Improve children’s school readiness and long-term success.

At Caring for Kids NJ, we believe that strong families build strong communities. Whether you are a parent seeking support, a volunteer looking to give back, or a donor wanting to make a difference, we invite you to join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of children and families.
