Our center is fully-licensed for year-round care for children between the ages of 8 weeks - 7 years. Our employer-based facility prioritizes team members of Steamboat Ski Resort, but we will offer spots to community members if space is available. After we meet the needs of employees, we will prioritize families who are already enrolled at the Steamboat Child Care Center. It is our intention, and an essential part of our continuity of care model, to continue to work with all of our current families throughout childhood.
We are glad that we have been able to offer high-quality care for non-employee families since we opened our doors in December 2022. During our first year of operation, about 50% of our families were community members. However, this is the transition we knew was coming… From the beginning the Steamboat Childcare Center has prioritized serving as a benefit for SSRC employees. As we enter our second summer, an increasing number of SSRC parents are taking advantage of this benefit, resulting in community members being placed lower on the priority list for admission. It’s important to note our priority status which places SSRC employees first, followed by current community families who require care five days a week, and then siblings of current families. We understand this shift will impact families that previously had care and we appreciate everyone understanding the childcare center’s mission to prioritize SSRC employees. rich-text, responsive-table
Registration Information
All enrollment confirmations have been issued to current families for whom we can continue to provide care. At this time, we are not able to offer care to non-employees for our next session that begins in June 2024 (except for currently enrolled families who requested 5 days/week or have a sibling attending the SCCC.) All other families were sent a waitlist confirmation. In order to join the waitlist, families must complete our waitlist process that includes:
1. Signing the waitlist agreement.
2. Reading and acknowledging the family handbook.
3. Paying the $100 non-refundable waitlist fee.
The waitlist agreement, family handbook, and waitlist fee were sent to families on Brightwheel. If you think you completed registration but did not receive the waitlist process, please email the admin team at childcaresbt@steamboat.com.
To join our waitlist, you must register during one of our biannual open registration periods. The next open enrollment period is in September for care starting in November 2024.
IMPORTANT: Registration is NOT first-come, first-serve. All registrations will be reviewed after each open enrollment period closes and decisions will be made based on our priority tiers outlined in the Family Handbook.
