ENROLL YOUR CHILD

The Childcare Center is located at the Golf Course, and open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Drop off is stress-free, with free parking and complimentary shuttle to and from the facility to help you spend more time on the mountain.

Your 2- to 6-year old will be well-cared for, playing indoors and out, weather permitting. Our low 1-to-5 teacher-to-child ratio ensures your child has the full attention of our skilled, enthusiastic staff.

Reserve Your Child's Place

Please schedule your child’s stay two days in advance and bring a copy of their immunization records, birth certificate or passport if he or she is under the age of 3.
