Tracy Infant Center provides wonderful developmental care for 33 infants and toddlers. Top priority goes to the teen parents who go to school in the ABC Unified School District. It is important that you sign up to be put on the waiting list soon after the birth of your baby. The IC phone number is (562) 229-7762 or 926-5566 ext. 22270. If space permits your baby may be admitted after two months of age. They will contact you when there is a space open for your baby.

Bringing your baby to school can help you continue your education the first few months after birth while you are waiting to get in the Infant Center or making child care arrangements. When your baby is one month old and at least 8 pounds, the baby may come to Tracy with you, but there are special rules that will need to be followed.  Babies will need to go to the Infant Center or have other child care by the time they are 4 months old.

There are many parents who want to get back to school or go to work, but can't because they lack childcare. Parents who do not attend school regularly or who do not follow the Infant Center regulations may not take a space in the Infant Center. The Center is state funded and has many rules and regulations that must be followed. Please understand!

If your child is enrolled in the Infant Center, you must:

1. Work in the Infant Center at least one period per day (more if needed). You will earn elective credit during this time.

2. Participate and make reasonable progress in all classes that total at least 6 ½ hours (and/or work) each day.

3. Your schedule must include a parenting class and may include adult school, work experience, high school and college classes.
