Planning a ski getaway to Ellicottville with little ones? Holiday Valley understands that parents want to hit the slopes while ensuring their children are in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. That’s why their on-site Day Care Drop-In Program is a game-changer for families visiting the ski resort—offering peace of mind and joyful experiences for kids ages 6 months to 5 years.
Safe, Certified, and Engaging Child Care Right Inside Holiday Valley Lodge
Located conveniently on the ground floor of the Holiday Valley Lodge, the day care center features a play-based curriculum tailored to young children. From infants as young as 6 weeks to preschoolers, certified staff provide age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, games, story time, and outdoor play on the playground. All caretakers are background checked and trained in CPR and First Aid, ensuring top-quality care.
Flexible Ski Season Drop-In Care Options
Parents can reserve drop-in care for Saturdays and Sundays during ski season, with half-day sessions from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM or full-day care until 3:30 PM. Reservations are required and recommended well in advance due to limited spots. The program even includes an optional ski component for 4 and 5-year-olds, allowing kids to join ski lessons while parents enjoy the slopes worry-free.
Nutritional Food and Safety Measures
The day care provides hot lunch and snacks for children over 12 months, with accommodations available for dietary restrictions. Parents are encouraged to bring nut-free food if preferred, as the center maintains a nut-free environment. Safety protocols include health screening, secure pick-up procedures, and limits on who can enter the facility to protect all children in care.
Making Family Ski Vacations Easier and More Enjoyable
Holiday Valley’s Day Care program offers a perfect balance—giving kids a fun, enriching experience while parents enjoy skiing, dining, and exploring the village nearby. This thoughtful service helps make family ski trips less stressful and more memorable.
As a mom of two little boys, ages 2 and 5, Holiday Valley’s Day Care drop-in is a dream. I love that I can take advantage of a half-day session to get my 5-year-old into ski lessons before we all hit the slopes together. Meanwhile, the little one enjoys fun, safe activities nearby. Plus, it gives me a chance to run to Tops or grab a bit of shopping in town—such a wonderful way to balance family fun and a little ‘me’ time. It truly makes our family ski vacations so much easier and more enjoyable!
