Helpful hints.

  • Cubs Child Care is licensed by the State of Vermont and provides recurring child care to Vermont Families. We also provide childcare for Stowe Mountain Resort guest children between the ages of 24 months through 4 years of age.
  • It is important to us that your child has a positive experience while visiting with Cubs at Stowe Mountain Resort. We believe that Cubs Child Care should not be your child’s first child care center experience. When considering making reservations, please be aware that it is important that your child is accustomed to the pace of a busy child care center environment. 
  • When preparing your child for their drop off at Cubs it is frequently helpful if your child has a special comfort item or blanket to bring with them to Cubs Child Care.
  • Cubs Child Care does not offer one to one child care. If your child has never been to child care and needs one to one care to feel secure, it is best to find a local nanny service or babysitter.
  • Drop-off is between 8 a.m.-9:30 a.m. If you have not arrived at Cubs by 9:30 a.m., you will be charged for the full day and your reserved spot will be cancelled.
  • If you are planning on skiing or riding with your little one on the day of your reservation you can arrange for an early pick-up. Late drop-offs are not allowed past 9:30 a.m. for any reason, no exceptions. Please be aware once you have picked your child up they may not return for the remainder of the day.
  • Pick-up is no later than 4:00pm. Late fees will be assessed at a rate of $16 (starting at 4:01pm) for each 15-minute increment your child is not picked-up.

Vail Resorts Child Care Inconsolable policy:  

We do everything we can to engage children at our Child Care Centers and comfort them when they are sad. If we are unable to get your child to engage in activities, your child will not sleep, eat or drink and is inconsolable, we will need to contact you for an early pick-up. Please note you will still be charged in full for the day. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide one to one care at our Child Care Centers.

Cubs Childcare Cancellation policy:

  • Cancellations or Changes made 7 days in advance of the reservation will not incur any fee.

Illness policy.

  • The health and safety of our guests is first priority and we take this very seriously. Strong health and safety practices are the heart of our child programs. A key to preventing illness in a childcare setting is to form trusting relationships between parents and teachers around sharing important health information about your child’s condition when they are admitted. 
  • If your child has fever, sore throat, diarrhea, or is nauseous or vomiting, they will not be accepted into care. If your child has recently been ill, they must be symptom-free, without the benefit of medications, for 24 hours at US properties (including Stowe)
  • Each child will be observed for common signs of illness at arrival and throughout the day. A child who is ill upon arrival to the facility will not be admitted. Parents or guardians will be notified to pick up their child immediately, if the child becomes ill during their stay. 
  • A physician’s note stating a child is no longer contagious will be required when a child has healing lesions or other symptoms suggestive of communicable disease.
     

Forms.

Registration forms must be completed prior to arrival. These forms require a significant amount of information and will be kept on file for the season. You can save time by printing and completing the forms, then emailing them to: Stowecubs@Vailresorts.com.  We will also email you copies prior to your reservation arrival.
