Helpful hints.

  • Cubs Child Care is a licensed childcare center through the State of Vermont, offering recurring care for local families as well as short-term care for children of Stowe Mountain Resort guests, ages 18 months through 5 years.
  • We’re committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and positive experience for every child at Cubs. To help ensure your child has a smooth and enjoyable visit, we recommend that they have some prior experience in a childcare setting. Children tend to feel more comfortable when they’re already familiar with group routines and play in a structured setting.
  • When getting ready for your child’s day at Cubs, consider packing a favorite blanket, stuffed animal, or comfort item to help ease the transition during drop-off.
  • Please note that Cubs is not equipped to provide one-on-one care. If your child is new to group care and might benefit from more individualized attention, we recommend exploring local nanny or babysitting services that can provide a more tailored experience.

Illness policy.

At Cubs Child Care, the health and safety of every child is a top priority. We work closely with families to help prevent the spread of illness and maintain a safe environment. Open communication between parents and staff is essential, especially when a child is experiencing symptoms of illness. Children will be observed for signs of illness at drop-off and throughout the day.

Children may not attend Cubs if they are experiencing any of the following:

  •  Fever
  • Sore throat
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea or vomiting

If your child has recently been ill, they must be symptom-free for at least 24 hours without the use of medication before returning. If a child becomes sick during the day, a parent or guardian will be contacted for immediate pick-up

Return-to-care requirements:


Children must be symptom free for 24 hours to return to Cubs.

If a child has healing lesions or symptoms of a communicable disease, a physician’s note is required to confirm they are no longer contagious.

Recurring Care

Year-round child care.

Cubs Childcare offers a warm, engaging, and structured environment for families seeking recurring childcare throughout the year. Our licensed program is designed to support early learning, social development, and outdoor exploration in a safe, nurturing setting.
We understand that consistency is key for young children. Our staff works closely with families to ensure a smooth transition and to help each child feel secure, supported, and excited to learn and play each day.
