Our caring staff has the experience, knowledge and training to provide a fun and inclusive environment and attend to the needs of children who might need extra attention to successfully transition to new surroundings.

Lesson + Child Care Package

Available to 3–4 Year Olds

If your littlest ones aren’t quite ready for a full day on the hill, the Lesson + Child Care Package includes lunch, rest time and tons of fun on and off the snow. Small group sizes, playful teaching areas, carpet lifts, and fun-loving kid specialists allow the children to progress at their own pace on the slopes. After the lesson is finished at 12PM, the group heads to the Mammoth Child Care facility for lunch, rest and playtime for the remainder of the day.

Lesson + Child Care Packages are no longer available for the 21/22 winter season.

Child Care FAQs

Will my child be required to wear a mask?

In accordance with current Mono County Guidelines, masks are no longer required for children or staff. If you would like your child to wear one, please provide them with one. Please note that regulations may change at any time with little notice. Refer to COVID-related resources from Mammoth Mountain and Mono County for most current regulations.

Can my children of different ages be in the same room together?

Siblings may be in the same room together as long as both are either under or over the age of 2 years. If one child is under the age of two, and the other is over age 2, we do allow the older sibling to visit the younger sibling for short periods of time as long as it is in the infant room.

Do you welcome children with special needs?

We warmly welcome children with special needs or disabilities as long as we can safely and effectively meet the needs of the child.

What if my child requires special medications?

Medication may be administered to your child upon written parental instruction.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Space is limited and reservations are strongly recommended, however walk-ins may be accepted on a space-available basis. Please call 760.934.0632 to inquire about same-day child care.

What happens to my child in the event of an emergency?

If a child has a medical or dental emergency, he/she will be transported to Mammoth Hospital. Every attempt will be made to contact the parent immediately.

Can other people sign my child in/out of child care?

Yes, as long as the person authorized for pick-up is specified in writing by the parent when filling out the Mammoth Child Care enrollment form.

How are misbehaved children disciplined?

Positive redirection (or "cool down" as a last resort) is the only form of discipline used at Mammoth Child Care. Any form of discipline or punishment which violates your child's personal space is prohibited.
