Teen Parenting Support

At Elliott Alternative Education Center, we’re committed to helping teen parents succeed in both their education and parenting journey. Our on-site childcare program provides a safe, nurturing environment where your child is cared for by experienced staff. We offer developmentally appropriate, engaging activities to support your child’s growth and well-being so you can focus on your education with peace of mind.

By joining the Elliott Teen Parent Program, you’ll receive:

  • Free childcare during school hours

  • Access to valuable resources tailored to support teen parents

  • A caring, supportive environment for both you and your child

Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Childcare services are located on-site at Elliott and available during regular school hours. To learn more, take a tour, or meet our staff, please contact Graciela Godinez at (209) 492-6706.

Additional Support Through the Cal-SAFE Program

Modesto City Schools also participates in the California School Age Families Education (Cal-SAFE) Program, a state-supported initiative designed to help pregnant and parenting teens stay in school and graduate.

Through Cal-SAFE, eligible teen parents receive:

  • Free on-site childcare for infants and toddlers

  • Comprehensive support services that address both academic and personal needs

  • Child development and health services for their children

The program aims to promote school success, improve parenting skills, and enhance the school readiness of young children. By providing a strong foundation, Cal-SAFE helps young families build a brighter future starting in high school.
