Lesson + Child Care Package
Ages 3–4
If your littlest ones aren’t quite ready for a full day on the hill, our 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. Drop off for the lesson portion at Canyon Lodge, and once it is finished at 12:00 PM, the group heads to the Mammoth Child Care facility in The Village for lunch, rest, and playtime for the remainder of the day.

Child Care FAQ
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.
We warmly welcome children with special needs or disabilities as long as we can safely and effectively meet the needs of the child.
Medication may be administered to your child upon written parental instruction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Typical snack foods include graham crackers, fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, cereal with milk, apple sauce, and yogurt.
