Stratton's Childcare Services. Leave them in good hands.
 
Conveniently located at the Skier Drop-off Area. Our Childcare program is a fully licensed childcare facility where indoor fun is always the goal. It's the perfect play environment for kids ages six weeks to three years, with safe toys and a staff that understands how to fuel your child's imagination. We open early so moms and dads can fit in a full morning on the slopes and enjoy themselves, assured that their kids are well cared for. Lunch (for full-day session only) and healthy snacks included.
