When you say children, are you saying elementary age? I know for post secondary, in Arizona, at least, it was approximately 2 years for a teaching certificate - you are essentially going back for a Master's in Education, but also have to do the student teaching in the classrooms, which adds on extra time.
Your best bet if you decide to go to a local program is to go yourself and investigate, and make up a list of questions about the program you want answered from each place you go. Weigh the pros and cons, and then make your decision.
I am not aware of the programs in NJ, and that will heavily depend on what places/schools are nearby that you are considering.
