Hello to you. We have many resources listed for Jersey City. As far as looking for head start or child care, those are mostly government funded programs. They can help the poor, low income, and are often available for immigrants too. Even though Puerto Rico is a US territory, we are not sure how exactly that works when it comes to assistance. But the agencies we have listed should be able to advice.

I'm interested in more information about your program. I'm currently moving back to NJ Jersey City from Puerto Rico. And I'm looking to establish my family and myself here now and I’m trying to find good child care or head start that excepts Urban League for my 2 1/2 years old cause I’m interested in starting to work. Currently I’m living with my grandmother and would like to be able to find out where I could possibly go to fill out for any low-income programs like HUD, Section 8 , ect. I would truly appreciate any information and help you could offer.
Thank you.
