About Alta Children's Center

Located on-site at the world-famous Alta Ski Resort, you can drop off your child at a safe and fun care center and literally step out the door and hit the slopes. The Alta Children’s Center is a full-service child care facility that caters to children from 2 months old to 12 years old. Infants and young children can play, create and learn in the center.

Alta Children's center works closely with the Alf Engen Ski School to facilitate transitions for private ski lessons. Our center is designed to stimulate curious young minds with areas set up for creative arts, social/emotional learning in the dramatic play area, blocks & physical motor movement area, and a math and science discovery area. We provide 3 nutritious meals throughout the day.

    Hello! My name is Kim; I’m a mom of two little ladies, ages 11 and 3.

Our son Levi (19 months) attended childcare on Friday, March 29th. It could not have gone better. My wife Lauren and I were incredibly impressed with the organization of the room, and Levi seemed like he could have stayed there to play all night if we would have let him. Isle is incredible and we can tell how much effort she puts into the center each day.

Ms. Ilse and her team are AMAZING!! You can put your complete trust in them to make sure your little one has a fantastic day. I've been using her child care center for two years now. My now 3 year old loves going to play. Sometimes they go sledding, or play dress up, they jump on the bounce toys, or do craft projects, and play with the Paw Patrol toys just to name a few. The care team is wonderful with helping out when your child has "an accident". They have even been known to wash their clothes so you don't have to take home a bad of yucky underwear! We have yet to come across a situation they could not handle. I HIGHLY recommend the Alta Children's Center!!

Took excellent care of our 2.5 year old daughter. New facility, great teachers and care. Even gave her electrolytes with our permission to help with the high altitude. Love this place!

We had a wonderful stay at Alta Childerns Center. We were from out of town and nervous to leave our little one but Mr. Ilse was fantastic. We received great care and look forward to next year. Thank you for all the kindness and fun!

First of all, let me just say that I never leave reviews. Ever. However, the experience I had last week at Alta Children's Center was so extremely exceptional that I have no choice but to leave a 5-star+ review! Ilse and her team are competent, compassionate, and completely accommodating...and after just 4 days they feel like family!
