52:27D-29.14. Legislative findings and declarations

The Legislature finds and declares that: there is an urgent need to provide for more quality child care services in New Jersey, particularly in light of recent trends indicating that more single parents are entering the work force; there are many latchkey children and pre-school children in the State who are in need of adequate care and supervision; the lifestyles of older people often result in greatly diminished contact between the elderly and children; older people often lack opportunities for involvement in meaningful community activities, and an Intergenerational Child Care Demonstration Matching Program would bring older people together with children, which will provide for urgently needed nurturing child care services and, at the same time, provide a meaningful way in which the elderly may become involved in their own communities.
