Every daycare in the Tracy daycare directory holds a California child care license, checked against the state's live record when it was listed. The license type tells you which ages a site is set up for: infant centers for babies, child care centers for preschoolers, school-age centers for before and after school, and family child care homes that often mix ages. Mountain House sites are included. Call ahead for openings and tuition, since most listings do not post prices.

Family child care homes
Family child care homes are licensed for up to 8 or 14 kids in a provider's own home and often take a mix of ages. The state does not publish their street addresses, so the directory lists them by ZIP. Browse them in the daycare directory and call the provider for ages, hours and openings.
