CHILD CARE

At Mount Snow Child Care our winter programming will keep your little ones busy all day! Children are placed in age appropriate classrooms that are geared towards adventure. Children should expect to be active whether they are crawling, doing outdoor play, art & craft projects or playing inside our wonderful childcare facility!

• Mount Snow Child Care is a licensed child care center through the State of Vermont, offering both recurring care for families as well as short-term care for children of Mount Snow Resort winter guests.
• We're committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and positive experience for all children. For winter non-recurring guests: To ensure that your child has a smooth and enjoyable visit, we recommend that they have prior experience in a child care setting. Children tend to feel more comfortable when they're familiar with group routines and play in a structured setting.
• Please Note: Mount Snow Child Care does not focus on providing one-on-one care. If your child requires one-on-one non-recurring care, we recommend exploring local nanny or babysitting services to provide that experience while you visit Mount Snow.
