What to pack*: Lunch, snacks, bottles, (frozen breast milk is fine…if formula – pre-mixed, ready to feed is preferred), pre-filled sippy cup, diapers, wipes, spare set of clothing and any “comfort items” (such as a pacifier, special blanket or toy). Lunch and snacks are provided; free of charge, for babies who can eat what is on the menu for the older kids for the day. (i.e. chicken nuggets, pizza, macaroni & cheese along with veggies and fruit.)

*Please label all bottles, food containers, cups, pacifiers, etc. Pre-labeling your child’s belongings will expedite the check-in process and get you “out on the hill” sooner!

Outside time: Typically, we do not take this age group outside due to the cold winter temperatures. On a warm spring day, we may take the toddlers on a walk or in a stroller.

Visiting or “checking in” on my baby:  unless you are nursing, we recommend parents call versus checking in. Often times, babies do not understand that you are “just visiting.” If your baby had a difficult time settling in during morning drop off, a mid day visit then another good bye may upset your child all over again. Alternatively, we recommend you calling as often as you like, or leave your cell # for our staff to contact you based on the criteria you set forth.   

Availability: Infant/toddler care may not be available every day at both locations. Our infant care spaces are very limited and sell out quickly.

What to pack*: Warm outerwear for snow play or gondola rides including gloves and a hat, sunglasses or goggles, a spare change of clothing, diapers and wipes (if needed) and “comfort items” such as a special blanket, stuffed animal or toy. Children may bring toys or other items from home which will help alleviate any potential separation anxiety! Electronic devices such as iPads are also permissible.  

*Please label as many of your child’s belongs as possible, especially back packs, mittens, sunglasses, goggles, hats and boots. Pre-labeling your child’s belongings will expedite the check-in process and get you “out on the hill” sooner!

Indoors activities:  children will participate in singing and stories, arts and crafts, dress-up play, video and computer games, fun with blocks, gross motor activities,  games, puzzles, toys and much more.

Outdoor activities: weather permitting, is scheduled in the morning...typically between 10:30am-11:45am. We recommend that sunscreen is applied to your child before arriving to Mammoth Child Care. Children will be able to play in the snow, go sledding, or ride the always-popular gondola. Please check in by 10am to ensure your child's participation in outside play or the gondola ride.

• Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays: Chicken nuggets, French Fries, Vegetables, Fresh Fruit, Milk

Availability: Call ahead to confirm availability.

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.

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? Per California Licensing regulations, parents must sign their child in and out to complete transfer of responsibility.

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. 

What do you serve for snacks and lunch?
Typical snack foods include: graham crackers, fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, cereal with milk, and apple sauce and yogurt.
